Distribute pressure to help with horse leaning on the hand
Bit strength: Moderate
This bit is NOT dressage legal.
The Waterford mouthpiece is comprised of a series of ball shaped links, making it completely movable in all directions. This is particularly popular for combating issues such as leaning, taking hold of the bit and jaw setting. When the horse tries to take hold of the bit the mouthpiece collapses, leaving the horse with nothing rigid to take hold of.
The mouthpiece works to distribute pressure over the tongue and bars of the mouth. Coupled with simple, loose ring cheeks this bit is ideal for stronger horses who are known to lean or take hold of the bit. Should be worn 1/4" - 1/2" wider than standard to work effectively.

About Stainless Steel Bits...
Stainless steel is the most commonly used material for horse bits as it is durable, easy to clean and does not rust. Some of our stainless steel bits feature copper mouthpieces which help to create a warming sensation and encourage the horse to salivate and accept the bit. Stainless steel bits are suitable for a wide range of horses and are available in many designs so that you can choose the right bit for your horse and discipline.
