Price: From £19.99
Copper Rollers:
These mouthpieces incorporate stainless steel and copper rollers, the rollers may help if your horse tends to lean on the bit and or set their jaw. As the rollers are movable they are not easy for the horse to get a grip of. They also encourage mouthing as it gives them something to play with.
Single Jointed Bits:
The single joint puts pressure on the sides of the tongue, on the lips and on the bars due to the nutcracker action. The single jointed bits tend to have a head raising action so would be less suitable for animals with a high head carriage. Also they are not so suitable for horses with particularly large tongues because they have less room in the mouth for a single jointed bit as this pushes the bit nearer the roof of the mouth, also Arabs and alike may have a low palate, with both of these examples the nutcracker action may cause brushing of the roof of the mouth.
