Happy Mouth Copper Roller Hanging Cheek

Happy Mouth Copper Roller Hanging Cheek Bit

A soft mouthpiece, apple scented, non-toxic with a pure copper link which is a soft, warm metal. By using copper in the centre of the mouthpiece and combining soft plastic mouthpiece excellent bit acceptance is achieved. The taste of copper encourages horses to salivate and keep a moist mouth, and has a very positive effect by promoting relaxation and softening.

The roller mouth piece has 2 joints, which means the pressure of the bit is distributed over both the tongue and bars of the mouth. Because the mouthpiece has two joints, it shouldnt cause any interference with the roof of the mouth. The roller uses tongue pressure to encourage the horse to go on the bit and lower the head, it has bar and lip pressure but not a squeezing action like that of a bit with a single joint. The more joints a bit has the less likely the horse is to lean as the bit becomes more mobile.

The hanging cheek is a fixed cheek bit, which may be useful for horses that are unsure of the bit, as it doesnt move around too much in the mouth. It is also useful for horses that are a little bit stronger.
