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.

The mouthpiece is sure to be a hit with your horse, it even features an exclusive apple scent to encourage your horse to readily take the bit.

Previous Feedback
Comments: Great bit for horses that are sensitive in the mouth or reluctant to accept contact. Works well for my OTTB. I suggest sizing up and using bit guards as my guy needed a bigger size than in other bits to avoid pinching.
