SmoothShape bits are our take on the Waterford mouthpiece. SmoothShape bits are made of stainless steel that has been sanded down and polished for horses' comfort. The classic Waterford is a bit that’s often used for correcting horse’s that lock their jaws or lean on the bit. The design typically include sharp or protruding links that make leaning uncomfortable for the horse. Our take on the Waterford mouthpiece is that it need not be sharp or uncomfortable for the horse. The multiple links ensure that the bit is highly mobile and there is not much to “hang on to”. We recommend this mouthpiece for horses that are heavy and unresponsive and need a highly mobile bit to achieve acceptance. This bit features a Hunter Style D ring cheekpiece which is a fixed cheekpiece that offers more stability. The extended bar on the cheekpiece adds support which makes it a good choice for horses that might struggle through turns. Mouthpiece thickness: 4.75" and above - 15mm ; up to 4.5" - 12mm Ring Size: 9.5cm x 8cm Please Note: This product is being discontinued and is therefore final sale.
