This makes it particularly effective for schooling, training young or green horses, and riders who desire more precise turning cues and overall control.What are the benefits of the copper peanut mouthpiece?The copper peanut mouthpiece is designed to encourage natural salivation and promote relaxation in your horse's mouth. Copper warms quickly, making the bit more palatable and encouraging the horse to soften and accept the bit more readily. The double-jointed design also spreads pressure more evenly across the tongue, reducing discomfort.How do I ensure the correct size and fit for my horse?Proper bit sizing is crucial for comfort and effectiveness. For a full cheek snaffle, the bit should fit snugly against your horse's cheek without pinching or squeezing. We recommend measuring your horse's mouth accurately, typically from the corner of the lip to the corner of the lip, ensuring about 1/4 inch of clearance on each side. The mouthpiece thickness for this bit is typically 13mm.What materials is this bit made from, and how durable is it?This Shires Snaffle is crafted from high-quality, durable stainless steel for the cheeks and rings, ensuring rust resistance and longevity. The mouthpiece features a copper peanut, chosen for its palatability and ability to encourage salivation. Both materials are easy to clean and designed to withstand the rigors of daily equestrian use.Product Details:Product Item Number (SKU): 6328S/STEEL4.5Original Bit Number: #6328Material: Stainless Steel with Copper PeanutType: Full Cheek SnaffleYour rides deserve nothing but the best.
