Product Information
Full details
The Stübben Golden Wings Bit is an ideal choice for riders working with young or sensitive horses who require a gentle, secure, and ergonomic training aid. Designed to provide maximum safety, this bit features side discs that protect the corners of the mouth from pinching, while the Sweet Copper alloy encourages relaxation through increased salivation. While it offers superior comfort, riders must ensure they select the correct size, as the integrated side discs may sit differently in the mouth compared to traditional loose-ring snaffles.

FAQs
What is the purpose of the Sweet Copper alloy?
It is designed to encourage the horse to chew and salivate, which helps the jaw relax and makes the horse more willing to accept the bit.
How do the Golden Wings protect the horse?
The side discs prevent the corners of the mouth from being pinched and provide a guide that prevents the bit from being pulled through the horse's mouth.
Is this bit suitable for jumping?
Yes, its stability and side protection make it a great choice for jumping, especially for horses that need clear guidance in turns.
Will the bit rust?
The Sweet Copper alloy is designed to oxidize, which is a normal process that creates the sweet taste horses enjoy. It is not rust.
How do I measure the bit size correctly?
Measure the distance between the inside of the bit rings when the bit is laid flat. Ensure you have the correct width for your horse's mouth to prevent discomfort.
Troubleshooting
Horse seems reluctant to take the bit initially.
Ensure the bit is at room temperature. Warming it gently in your hands before bridling can make it more inviting for the horse.
The side discs seem to rub or press too hard.
Double-check that the bit size (width) is appropriate. If the bit is too narrow, the discs will push into the mouth corners.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Protects the mouth corners from pinching due to the side discs.
- Sweet Copper material encourages salivation and jaw relaxation.
- Prevents the painful nutcracker effect on the bars.
- Excellent for young horses or those needing confidence-building.
- Provides clear and gentle directional guidance.
Cons
- Specific sizing is required for the side discs to sit correctly.
- May feel different to horses accustomed only to basic snaffles.
- The copper material will naturally darken (oxidize) over time.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance, verify that the bit is sized correctly so the side discs rest lightly against the corners of the mouth without over-compressing the tissue. When attaching the bridle, ensure the headstall is adjusted so the bit creates one or two gentle wrinkles at the corner of the lips.
Care Instructions:
- Rinse the bit with fresh water after every ride to remove saliva and food debris.
- Wipe with a clean, soft cloth.
- If the Sweet Copper darkens due to oxidation, this is a normal process; simply scrub gently with a soft scouring pad or a specialized metal cleaner designed for equestrian bits to restore the shine if preferred.
