The sweet iron material is designed to rust when exposed to moisture, creating a sweet taste that horses love, which actively encourages salivation and a softer, more accepting mouth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How do I ensure this bit fits my horse without pinching?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Because this is a loose-ring design, you should ensure 1\/8” to 1\/4” of clearance on each side of the horse's lips. When adjusted correctly in the bridle, the bit should sit high enough to create 1 to 2 soft wrinkles in the corners of the mouth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem Number\/SKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e EQB-821\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Professional's Choice","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46596433805533,"sku":"EQB-821","price":52.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/8748\/7965\/files\/upscaled-1774909336366.webp?v=1774909336","url":"https:\/\/hoovesandpaws.com\/products\/professionals-choice-equisential-o-ring-bit","provider":"Hooves and Paws","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
