Frequently Asked Questions
What is the copper wire mouthpiece and how does it help my horse?
The copper wire mouthpiece encourages salivation and promotes softness in the horse’s mouth. This material is gentler than steel alone, and the shaped design relieves tongue pressure on horses with large tongues or evasion tendencies, resulting in better responsiveness and listening to rider cues. When tongue pressure is relieved, horses typically soften in the mouth and become more responsive.

The stainless steel and sweet iron construction with smooth surface make cleaning effortless. Simply rinse with water after each ride and dry with a cloth.
