Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Why choose a copper mouth over plain stainless steel?
A: Copper creates a natural warming sensation and a sweet taste that stimulates salivation. This keeps the horse's mouth moist and relaxed, which is essential for preventing tension and encouraging better bit acceptance.

Q: Is this bit suitable for a horse that is still in training?
A: Yes, the Dee-ring is one of the best choices for training. It offers lateral pressure on the cheeks, which helps guide the horse through turns and prevents the bit from sliding, making your cues much clearer for a developing horse.
