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 functional bit at an affordable price, the Shires Hanging Cheek Copper Lozenge Bit is a great option for schooling or competition—a must-have for your tack room. The hanging cheek piece with fixed attachment to the bridle provides more stability than a loose ring or eggbutt cheek piece and encourages a balanced response to rein pressure.

The three-piece copper link mouthpiece prevents the "nutcracker" action of single-jointed mouthpieces, and instead applies moderate tongue pressure in a more even manner across the tongue, bars, and lips when reins are engaged. Copper promotes natural salivation, keeping your horse's mouth supple and responsive to subtle rein cues while also providing a distinctively pleasant taste and smell to encourage rapid bit acceptance. Maintain your horse's comfort throughout your riding experience together with this bit!

Comments: My mare is VERY picky about what bits she likes. I've gone through many a bits in my budget, but none worked for her...until I tried this one on her. She LOVES it. For the price, it is a fantastic bit. At the end of the day though, it is all up to your horse! I'm sure if it doesn't work for one, it will work for another.
