This is an intentional design feature of the sweet iron material. The oxidation (rusting) process creates a flavor that horses enjoy, which promotes salivation and makes the horse more willing to accept the bit and stay soft in the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is this bit appropriate for a horse that is just learning to use a curb bit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Absolutely. This is a \"Level 2\/3\" bit, making it the ideal tool for transitioning a horse from a snaffle to a curb. The 6-inch short shanks provide enough leverage to introduce curb pressure without being overwhelming for a developing horse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Will this bit fit my large Warmblood or Draft cross?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: This bit features a standard 5-inch mouthpiece, which is the industry standard for most stock horses (Quarter Horses, Paints, Appaloosas). For larger-jawed breeds, we recommend measuring your horse's mouth first, as the cheekpieces are not adjustable for width.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem Number\/SKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e AVB-233\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Professional's Choice","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47383110549725,"sku":"AVB-233","price":137.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/8748\/7965\/files\/optimized033126AVB-233.webp?v=1775024008","url":"https:\/\/hoovesandpaws.com\/products\/av-daisy-correction","provider":"Hooves and Paws","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
