This is a great everyday use bit because of the sweet iron and copper inlay mouth and stainless steel cheeks. The mouthpiece is made of sweet iron which will naturally rust into a light patina for a sweet taste for the horse and makes the bit more acceptable The sweet iron and tart copper work together to increase salivation for a supple mouth. Ideal to ride with two hands and direct rein, this is great for starting horses, training, or maintaining steady contact.
