Our ComfortWave mouthpiece features a curve to conform to the shape of the horse's mouth and encourage acceptance of contact. The lozenge features a larger than usual surface area with no sharp edges to distribute pressure evenly on the tongue. German silver develops a sweet taste when in contact with the horse's saliva and has a slightly softer and warmer feel compared to stainless steel or other metals commonly used for bits. This characteristic can make the bit more comfortable for some horses, as it may feel gentler against their sensitive mouth tissues and improve relaxation. Eggbutt cheekpieces are often preferred by young horses or those who require more stability in mouth than the loose ring offers. A simple bit, it often is a good starting piece for a young horse who is beginning their training. Mouthpiece thickness: 16mm
