The greater flexibility discourages a horse from leaning on it, it also promotes mouthing and salivation.The Waterford is usually worn ¼” – ½” or 5mm – 10mm longer than your traditional mouthpiece in order to curl around the tongue and maximize the effect.MaterialSweet Iron:Oxidizes easilyEncourages salivationHelps bit acceptanceWarm and sweetOur bits should be washed after every use and checked for wear.If the bit has been out of use for some time, a kitchen scourer maybe necessary to remove built up oxidation.Comes with a nylon back strap
