Please note that while this is a standard size, other variations may exist with different mouthpiece lengths for larger horses, so always check specifications for your needs.What material is this bit made from and what are its benefits?This bit is meticulously crafted from nickel-plated steel, offering excellent durability and superior resistance to corrosion. Nickel plating provides a smooth, classic look and feel that is generally well-accepted by horses. While this specific model is nickel-plated, some bits may incorporate copper inlays, which are known to encourage salivation and improve horse acceptance due to their taste and warmth.What type of riding is this curb bit best suited for?The Weaver Leather Bit Curb is an excellent choice for experienced horses and riders involved in western riding, general training, and driving disciplines. Its design offers moderate control and encourages responsiveness, making it suitable for refining cues and enhancing communication in a variety of settings.How does this bit provide control and what kind of action can I expect?This curb bit provides a light curb action with moderate control, making it a nuanced tool. The low port mouthpiece offers crucial tongue relief, while pressure is gently distributed across the bars of the horse's mouth and on the poll (via the headstall) and chin (via the curb strap). This combination promotes a responsive feel and encourages collection without harsh or abrupt cues, fostering a willing partnership.Does this bit come with a curb strap?While the Weaver Leather Bit Curb itself is provided, it is designed to be used in conjunction with a separate curb strap (which is typically sold separately). The proper adjustment of the curb strap—allowing for approximately two fingers' space between the strap and the horse's jaw—is absolutely crucial for the bit's intended action, comfort, and the overall effectiveness of your communication with your horse.Ready to elevate your horsemanship?
