The Soft Contact bits are anatomically shaped This double jointed loose ring snaffle is made of solid Cuprigan with stainless steel rings. Cuprigan is an alloy consisting of 89% copper, 7% aluminium, 3% iron and 1% zinc. The oxidation process of the material gives a pleasant smell and taste. The anatomical design of the bit follows the shape of the horse’s mouth, which allows for a gentle and even pressure distribution. The slightly curved shape of the mouthpiece ensures a little bit more space for the sides of the tongue. The design, combined with the unique properties of Cuprigan, encourages the chewing process and saliva production, which allows for a pleasant connection with the sensitive horse’s mouth. The bit applies mild pressure on the mouth. Mouthpiece thickness 16 mm, ring size 65 x 50 mm. The Dee-ring bit has fixed cheek pieces, aids will therefore have a more direct effect. This type of bit is often easily accepted as it offers stability. The form of the bit prevents it from being pulled through the mouth and provides a lateral guiding effect, making them an excellent choice for young horses. The double jointed bit consists of three parts. The middle section of the mouthpiece lies flat on the tongue, this causes more pressure on the tongue than a single jointed bit. The thicker the middle section, the more pressure it will create on the tongue.
