The Professional's Choice Equisential Traditional Chain Bit is the ultimate tool for riders seeking a soft, responsive partner without sacrificing the leverage needed for performance.Expertly engineered for the dedicated equestrian, this bit features a high-quality sweet iron construction that naturally oxidizes over time to create a "sweet" taste that encourages salivation and a relaxed jaw. The flexible chain mouthpiece is meticulously designed to promote a natural bend through the horse's body and a soft break at the poll, making it an essential addition to your training arsenal for schooling, ranch work, or competition.Key Features & Specifications: Frequently Asked Questions:Q: Why is my new bit starting to rust or change color?A: This is an intentional design feature! The sweet iron construction is meant to develop a rust patina when exposed to moisture, which creates a sweet taste that horses find highly palatable, encouraging a relaxed jaw and better bit acceptance.Q: Is this bit appropriate for a horse that is sensitive to mouth pressure?A: Yes, the chain mouthpiece is considered "mild" because it conforms to the shape of the horse's mouth rather than creating a fixed pressure point. It is an excellent choice for sensitive horses that need clear communication without the harshness of a solid mouthpiece.Item Number/SKU: EQB-900
