Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Why is the steel designed to rust or oxidize?
A: This is a deliberate performance feature! The oxidation creates a "sweet" flavor that horses find highly palatable, which encourages salivation and a more relaxed, supple jaw for better bit acceptance.

Q: Is this bit suitable for a horse just starting in leverage?
A: Absolutely. The 6" weighted shank and low port make it an excellent transitional bit for horses that are already "broke" but require more refined guidance than a traditional snaffle can provide.
