A functional bit at an affordable price, the Shires Hanging Cheek Copper Lozenge Bit is a great option for schooling as well as competition and is 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, while also incorporating slight poll pressure to encourage 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 and maintain comfort throughout the riding experience.
