Key Features
-
Non-ToxicNon-Toxic
Bits that are made from non-toxic materials, unlike most plastics, rubbers, and metals, are a safer option for horses who need a gentler bit.
-
Increased PalatabilityIncreased Palatability
Bits that increase palatability often incorporate sweet metals (such as copper and iron) or flavored plastics which encourage the horse to salivate, relax their jaw, and accept the bit. They may be inlaid into the bars, be the roller or lozenge, or make up the entire bar.
-
Leverage PressureLeverage Pressure
These bits use indirect pressure that multiplies the amount of force exerted on the horse's mouth, nose, or poll. They are used by riders who have little to no contact or are looking for more finesse and control.
-
Direct PressureDirect Pressure
Bits that use direct pressure have a 1:1 ratio where the pressure exerted on the reins will be the same pressure felt in the mouth. They are used by riders who often have contact with their horse's mouth.
A classic bit with the addition of copper rollers to help calm young or nervous horses, the Centaur Copper Roller Mouth Dee Ring Snaffle Bit is an excellent option for schooling as well as competition, and is a must-have for your tack room! The traditional English Dee ring cheek gives this bit that classic look, as well as optimal function.
The copper mouthpiece & rollers promote salivation for a comfortable, supple mouth and the standard snaffle design applies moderate tongue pressure when reins are engaged.

Previous Feedback
Comments: I use this bit on a 5yr old qh/welsh pony that I am training and he loves it! He used to be in a full cheek but I switched to this bit and he was much quieter than with the other bit! the rollers really help him stay calm when riding and he stays more focused.
