Frequently Asked Questions

How does the unique mouthpiece design benefit my horse?

This bit features a three-piece sweet iron mouthpiece with a copper roller. This thoughtful design allows the bit to break over and pivot on the bars of your horse's mouth, providing concentrated and clear pressure for better signals. The copper roller actively encourages salivation, which helps keep your horse's mouth moist and relaxed, promoting softer acceptance and giving them "something to play with" to encourage a calm and responsive demeanor.

What level of rider and horse is this bit suitable for?

The Bob Avila Collection Bit is specifically designed for experienced riders who possess a nuanced understanding of how to use bit pressure effectively and humanely. It serves as an excellent transitional tool for horses moving from a snaffle to a leverage bit, helping to refine their communication and responsiveness. It is not recommended for beginner riders due to its specific action.

How does this bit enhance communication and responsiveness?

Its precise design is crafted to significantly improve communication with your horse. This allows for easier achievement of better lateral flexion, sharper and more precise corrections, and improved collection. The result is a more refined and responsive horse, leading to a stronger, more harmonious partnership.

What material is the bit made from, and how should I maintain it?

The mouthpiece is constructed from sweet iron, a material intentionally designed to rust when exposed to moisture. This natural oxidation process creates a sweet taste in the horse's mouth, which actively encourages salivation and acceptance. While regular cleaning after use is recommended to remove dirt and debris, the beneficial rusting of the sweet iron is part of its intended function and should not be aggressively removed.

What are the specific dimensions of the bit?

This bit features a 5 1/8-inch mouth and a 6 1/2-inch cheek (shank) length. These classic dimensions provide effective leverage and a balanced feel, suitable for a wide range of training applications.
