Taxes included.
Shipping costs calculated at checkout.
This bit is made of solid Cuprigan—a 89% copper, 7% aluminum, 3% iron, and 1% zinc alloy—mounted on stainless steel components. As it oxidizes, the material releases a pleasant smell and taste. Its anatomical shape follows the contours of the horse’s mouth and distributes pressure gently and evenly.
The cheeks are removable. A full-cheek bit has two vertical bars—the cheeks—in front of the rings. They press against the cheeks, reinforcing directional aids while preventing the bit from being pulled through the mouth. The horse is easy to steer, which makes this bit suitable for young horses. A full-cheek bit can be fitted with keepers, which hold it in place and give it a slight leverage effect.

🐎 Why choose this product?
At 14 mm, the mouthpiece remains thin enough to provide clear signals without concentrating pressure as much as a very thin mouthpiece. This is the most versatile diameter in the range. The supplier describes the action of this bit in the mouth as normal.
🧴 Care instructions
Rinse the bit with clean water after each use. ⚠️ Cuprigan becomes dull and turns green as it oxidizes: this is the alloy’s normal behavior, not a defect, and it should not be removed with an abrasive product.
