CheekpieceThe Full Cheek cheekpiece will prevent pinching on the sides of the mouth, and the extended pins above and below the bit, firstly prevent the bit being pulled through the mouth and secondly aid guiding the horse’s head which is great for schooling purposes. As with the Eggbutt, the release is slower than the loose ring and also introduces light poll pressure.MouthpieceThe Elliptical is stronger than the Control Plate due to it concentrating pressure onto a smaller surface area. This bit will suit a horse that pushes the bit with its tongue. The horse will draw its head back and tuck its chin in, finding a better balance of control.The mouthpiece can be optionally more curved, creating a more comfortable bend than the conventional, which reduces pinch and spreads pressure points around the bars.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.
