The lozenge distributes pressure over the tongue and bars of the mouth, encouraging mouthing and a more comfortable contact.
Use a bit gauge or a flexible ruler to measure the width of your horse's mouth where the bit will sit.
Clean the bit after each use to remove saliva and debris.
The brass alloy is warm and palatable, which encourages the horse to accept the bit more readily.
The bit should sit comfortably in the horse's mouth, with 1-2 wrinkles at the corner of the lips.
This bit is suitable for a variety of disciplines, especially where a stable contact and comfortable mouthpiece are desired.
This bit can be used with various types of reins, including leather, rubber, and web reins.
Check the bit size and fit. Ensure the mouthpiece is comfortable and that there are no sharp edges or pressure points. Consider the horse's training level and mouth conformation.
Adjust the curb chain (if applicable). Ensure the bit is the correct size. The bit should sit comfortably without pinching.
Clean the bit regularly with a soft brush and warm water. The brass alloy will naturally tarnish over time, but regular cleaning will help to maintain its appearance and function.
