BR Soft Contact double-jointed Verdun bit, 12 mm Ø, 65 × 50 mm
Taxes included.
Shipping costs calculated at checkout.
This bit is made of solid Cuprigan — an alloy of 89% copper, 7% aluminum, 3% iron, and 1% zinc — mounted on stainless steel components. 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.
The Verdun bit has D-rings that do not rotate freely, so the rein aids have a more direct action. This type of bit is generally well accepted because the mouthpiece remains relatively stable in the mouth. The D-shape prevents the bit from being pulled through the mouth and provides good guidance, making it suitable for young horses.

🐎 Why choose this product?
A thin mouthpiece concentrates pressure over a smaller surface area: with the same hand, it is felt more strongly than a thick mouthpiece. The 12 mm size is therefore intended for a horse that accepts precise contact, or for a small mouth where a thick mouthpiece would not fit well. With a double-jointed bit, the mouthpiece consists of three parts, and the central part lies flat on the tongue. This creates more pressure on the tongue than a single-jointed bit, while eliminating the V-shaped effect toward the palate.
🧴 Care 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.
