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 rings. As it oxidizes, the material releases a pleasant smell and taste. Its anatomical shape follows the contours of the mouth and distributes pressure gently and evenly. On a loose-ring snaffle, the rings do not rotate freely, so the aids have a more direct effect than with a loose-ring bit. This type of bit is generally well accepted because the mouthpiece remains relatively stable in the mouth.
✨ Key benefits
- ✔ Solid Cuprigan: its oxidation releases a taste that stimulates salivation
- ✔ Eggbutt design: fixed rings, stable mouthpiece, more direct action
- ✔ Anatomical shape: pressure is distributed without pressure points
- ✔ 16 mm mouthpiece, 65 mm oval cheeks
📋 Technical specifications

🐎 Why choose this product?
At 16 mm, the mouthpiece distributes pressure over a larger surface area and is less noticeable. However, the horse must have enough room to accommodate it: on a horse with a thick tongue, a wide mouthpiece may cause more discomfort than relief.
🧴 Usage instructions
Rinse the bit with clean water after each use. ⚠️ Cuprigan tarnishes and turns green as it oxidizes: this is the normal behavior of the alloy, not a defect, and it should not be removed with an abrasive product.
