Description
This short correction is a step up from the snaffle shank. Applies pressure to the chin, bars and corners of the mouth. Gives added pressure to the tongue for more feel.
The 6” cheek has a 2-1/2” purchase and 3-1/2” shank. This ratio (difference in the length of the purchase and shank) and the swept back shank design make this a mild cheek. Contact with the
horse’s mouth comes slowly as soft pressure to all points of contact. The main point of contact is the
corners of the mouth, familiar from the O Ring. The mouthpiece is inlaid with copper to stimulate
salivation. It is 12,5 cm wide, 3/8” in diameter, and curved for soft, evenly distributed pressure to the bars, tongue, and corners of the mouth.
Sweet iron will rust when it comes into contact with (air) humidity; the surface rust tastes sweet and naturally stimulates the saliva production. This will cause the horse to salivate more which in turn encourages better acceptance of the bit. The rusting process (oxidation) changes the colour of the bit to a brownish-grey.
A beginning of this oxidation process may already be visible when purchasing a new bit.
