Comments: Excellent quality bit. A little on the heavier side though. My gelding, who just finished training, slipped into this bit wonderfully for three months, then into a Korsteel Oval Link bit for another few months. He is not responding well to either bits, a year later, he's probably ready to upgrade to a thinner bit. No pinching problems with either bits. I did notice; however, the copper bit gets more sharp marks in it as the horse bites, so it doesn't last as long as stainless steel.
