The Double Jointed Copper Elliptical Full Cheek Bit is designed to improve communication between horse and rider by combining a double-jointed mouthpiece with
full cheek sidepieces. The elliptical link in the center provides even pressure distribution across the tongue and bars, reducing the “nutcracker” effect associated with single-jointed bits. The copper composition encourages salivation, promoting a softer and more responsive mouth.
Key Features of the Copper Elliptical Mouthpiece:
- Even Pressure Distribution: The elliptical link ensures consistent pressure across the tongue and bars, enhancing comfort and reducing resistance from the horse.
- Encourages Salivation: The copper material stimulates natural salivation. This reaction keeps the horse’s mouth soft and responsive to aids.
- Reduces Nutcracker Effect: The double-jointed design minimizes the pinching action typical of single-jointed bits. This makes for a softer and more gentle experience.
Full Cheek Design Features:
- Enhanced Stability: The full cheek design prevents the bit from sliding through the horse’s mouth, providing more stable lateral guidance.
- Direct Contact: The extended cheekpieces offer more direct cues, helping horses maintain better balance and stay on track.
- Encourages Responsiveness: The full cheek bit design promotes consistent, gentle guidance, making it easier for the horse to stay engaged and responsive during rides.
