Product description
Transition bit for horses moving up from the O or D-Ring. Soft pressure is applied through the curb.
The 6” cheek has a 2-1/2” purchase and 3-1/2” shank. This ratio (difference in the length of the
purchase and shank) and the swept back shank design make this a mild cheek. Contact with the
horse’s mouth comes slowly as soft pressure to all points of contact. The main point of contact is the corners of the mouth, familiar from the O Ring. This bit may also be used with a training fork or
martingale to encourage collection and poll control. The mouthpiece is inlaid with copper to stimulate salivation. It is 12,7 cm wide, 3/8” in diameter, and curved for soft, evenly distributed pressure to the bars, tongue, and corners of the mouth
Sweet iron will rust when it comes into contact with (air) humidity; the surface rust tastes sweet and naturally stimulates the saliva production. This will cause the horse to salivate more which in turn encourages better acceptance of the bit. The rusting process (oxidation) changes the colour of the bit to a brownish-grey.
A beginning of this oxidation process may already be visible when purchasing a new bit.
