Double Jointed Copper Elliptical Full Cheek

The Double Jointed Copper Elliptical Full Cheek Bit is designed to improve communication between horse and rider by combining a double-jointed mouthpiece with full cheek sidepieces. The elliptical link in the center provides even pressure distribution across the tongue and bars, reducing the “nutcracker” effect associated with single-jointed bits. The copper composition encourages salivation, promoting a softer and more responsive mouth.

Key Features of the Copper Elliptical Mouthpiece :

• Even Pressure Distribution : The elliptical link ensures consistent pressure across the tongue and bars, enhancing comfort and reducing resistance from the horse.
• Encourages Salivation : The copper material stimulates natural salivation. This reaction keeps the horse’s mouth soft and responsive to aids.
• Reduces Nutcracker Effect : The double-jointed design minimizes the pinching action typical of single-jointed bits. This makes for a softer and more gentle experience.

Double Jointed Features :

• Even Pressure Distribution: The two joints with a center link reduce palate pressure and distributes contact more evenly across the tongue, bars, and corners of the mouth.
• Tongue Pressure Variation: The size and shape of the center link influence how much tongue pressure is applied, making it adaptable for horses with different mouth conformations.
• Greater Mobility: The design allows the mouthpiece to move more freely than a single joint, improving comfort and reducing resistance in many horses.

Full Cheek Design Features :

• Enhanced Stability : The full cheek design prevents the bit from sliding through the horse’s mouth, providing more stable lateral guidance.
• Direct Contact : The extended cheekpieces offer more direct cues, helping horses maintain better balance and stay on track.
• Encourages Responsiveness : The full cheek bit design promotes consistent, gentle guidance, making it easier for the horse to stay engaged and responsive during rides.
