* Mouth: 5 Inches Ring : 2.5 Inches * Material: Stainless steel Dee rings ensure durability and rust resistance. * Design: Loose ring structure allows the bit to move freely, reducing the likelihood of the horse leaning on the bit and promoting flexibility and subtle communication. * Purpose: Ideal for Western riding disciplines, particularly in training, trail riding, and performance settings where precision and control are essential. * Functionality: Combines sharper pressure from the twisted mouthpiece with the salivation-promoting properties of sweet iron for a responsive and relaxed horse. The Hilason 5" Western Loose Ring Horse Bit with Twisted Sweet Iron Mouth is crafted for riders looking for improved control and responsiveness in Western riding. The 5-inch twisted sweet iron mouthpiece is designed to create pressure points on the horse’s tongue and bars, encouraging quicker and more decisive responses to rein cues. Over time, sweet iron naturally oxidizes (rusts), producing a taste that many horses find appealing, which encourages salivation and helps keep the horse’s mouth soft and comfortable during work. The twisted design intensifies pressure, making this bit suitable for horses that require additional refinement or control. The loose ring structure allows the mouthpiece to move freely, offering more flexibility and a softer, more fluid connection between horse and rider. This mobility makes it harder for the horse to lean on the bit, promoting a lighter, more responsive mouth.
