** This product has a flexible mouth, which by its very nature is more easily damaged than metal. It is most important that the bit is of the correct size and that it lies central in the horses mouth. It is essential that it is fitted correctly so that it will not become chewed. Horses teeth should be regularly checked and it is dangerous to continue to use a marked bit **
Made from Polyurethane plastic which provides a nice soft and gentle touch to the horses mouth.
An apple flavour which has been added to the plastic, helps horses to accept the bit without resistance.
Flexible, wire reinforced centre core

Should be worn with 2 reins preferably; the first rein should be used on the snaffle ring, which is the ring adjacent to the mouthpiece. This rein is then used just like a loose ring hanging cheek bit, which uses poll pressure and lip pressure due to the sliding loose ring also applies various pressures in the mouth depending on the mouthpiece it is in conjunction with. The second rein should be attached to one of the rings below, the lower rings produce increased leverage. In the instance of using 2 reins then the bit can be used as a hanging cheek bit and then when more help is required, the second rein can be brought into play. If the bit is only used with one rein on the lower rings, then the pressure is applied constantly and no pressure release is available for the horse
