FAQ
Q: What is the purpose of the copper wire roller?
A: The copper wire roller is designed to encourage the horse to salivate, which helps to soften the mouth and improve responsiveness to the rider's aids.
Q: What does 'port mouth' mean for a bit?
A: A port mouth bit has a raised section in the middle (the port) that allows the tongue to move more freely or rests on the palate, potentially offering more leverage and a different type of pressure than a Mullen mouth or jointed bit.
Q: Are the engraved trims on the cheeks functional?
A: The engraved trims on the cheeks are primarily decorative, adding an aesthetic appeal to the bit. They do not typically affect the bit's function.
