The loose ring cheeks of this bit can discourage fixing and leaning by providing more movement compared to a fixed cheek bit, allowing the bit to better follow the angle of the tongue. Additionally, a central lozenge encourages softer contact and offers mild action, making it ideal for young and sensitive horses. Crafted from a brass alloy, formed by alloying copper with a harder metal, this bit is made of a warm and durable material that can aid salivation and be more palatable to the horse. It is an ideal choice for horses that are just starting their ridden career.
