This extra clearance prevents the rings from pinching the lips or \"skinning\" the corners of the mouth during direct rein pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Why is the mouthpiece designed to rust?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: The sweet iron material is specifically chosen to oxidize when exposed to moisture. This creates a \"sweet\" taste that horses love, encouraging them to salivate, relax their jaw, and more readily accept the bit for a softer, more harmonious ride.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is this bit suitable for starting young horses?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Absolutely. This bit is a favorite for starting colts because it provides direct, non-leverage communication, allowing young horses to understand lateral and vertical cues without the confusion of a curb chain or shanks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem Number\/SKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e BPB-102\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Professional's Choice","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46595650978013,"sku":"BPB-102","price":137.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/8748\/7965\/files\/optimized_333eda9a-0c83-413c-803f-eeb1e5185b77.webp?v=1767034353","url":"https:\/\/hoovesandpaws.com\/products\/professionals-choice-brittany-pozzi-smooth-o-ring-snaffle-bit","provider":"Hooves and Paws","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
