“Love. Love. Love. this tack store. employees are always helpful and they carry a wide selection of new items as well as consignment items. I can't say enough good things!”
The loose ring cheek has greater movement than a fixed cheek which can discourage fixing and leaning. The loose brass alloy discs in the center of the bit can help to soothe a fussy tongued horse. Mouthpiece thickness: 15mm. Cheek height: 65mm. Blue sweet iron mouthpieces oxidize easily to create warmth with a sweet taste which helps with bit acceptance and encourages salivation.
Please note the blue color will fade with use. The addition of brass alloy inserts produces a warm, more palatable bit. Stainless steel is used for the cheeks due to it being durable, easy to clean and resistance to rust.
