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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit has an additional ring at the top and bottom. By attaching the cheekpieces to the upper rings and the reins to the middle or lower ring, you create a leverage effect: the lower the reins are attached, the greater the effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e✨ Key features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ Solid Cuprigan: its oxidation releases a taste that stimulates salivation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ Anatomical shape: pressure is distributed without concentrated pressure points\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ Multiple rein positions: the leverage effect can be adjusted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ 70 mm central ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003e📋 Technical specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: 3-ring Pessoa bit, double-jointed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: solid Cuprigan (89% copper, 7% aluminum, 3% iron, 1% zinc), stainless steel rings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBit thickness: 16 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentral ring diameter: 70 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSizes: 11.5 cm \/ 12.5 cm \/ 13.5 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003e🐎 Why choose this product?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 16 mm, the mouthpiece distributes pressure over a larger surface area and is less noticeable—which partly offsets the leverage effect of the ring configuration. With a double-jointed bit, the mouthpiece consists of three parts, and the central section lies flat on the tongue. This creates more pressure on the tongue than a single-jointed bit, but eliminates the V-shaped effect toward the palate. ⚠️ The supplier recommends this bit for horses that are hard-mouthed. A leverage effect multiplies the pressure applied by the hand: this is not a training bit, and changing bits never replaces thorough foundational work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e🧴 Usage advice\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRinse the bit with clean water after each use. ⚠️ Cuprigan tarnishes 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. Choose the rein position at the attachment point: the middle ring for a moderate effect, or the lower ring for a stronger effect. Always start with the gentlest position. ⚠️ A leverage bit requires a controlled hand and is best used with roundings, which are mandatory in competition when using a Pessoa. Measure the width from one ring to the other, with the mouthpiece pulled straight. ⚠️ A bit that is too narrow pinches the corners of the mouth; one that is too wide moves around in the mouth and knocks against the teeth. Allow approximately half a centimeter of mouthpiece to show on each side.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BR","offers":[{"title":"11,5 cm","offer_id":58595493675343,"sku":"251092M000115","price":54.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"12,5 cm","offer_id":58595493708111,"sku":"251092M000125","price":54.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"13,5 cm","offer_id":58595493740879,"sku":"251092M000135","price":54.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/0029\/9177\/files\/251092_M000_01.jpg?v=1787946784","url":"https:\/\/selleriebucephale.com\/en\/products\/mors-pessoa-3-anneaux-double-brisure-br-soft-contact-16-mm","provider":"Sellerie Bucéphale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
