The design of this bit is intended for subtle rein pressure with heaver cheek pieces that offer a quicker release. The mooth, round, copper inlaid mouthpiece increases salvation, making it more comfortable for the pony. The mouthpiece design is for riders looking for a quick reaction. 
 
Make it set with a leather or chain curb strap and save $1!
 
NOTE: A rider with light hands who needs more control will likely benefit from this bit. A heavy handed rider whose pony is becoming resistant will likely create more resistance with this bit unless they are very concious of releasing. RELEASE IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT on every bit, but even moreso with this bit. Release means that as soon as the pony does what it's asked, the rider releases pressure on the mouth. 
 
Comes in 3.5", 4.0" and 4.5" mouthpiece with 5" cheek pieces. 
 
*For pony bits to function properly, it's extremely important to have a headstall and a leather or chain curb that fit correctly.

Start with a solid object like a ruler or narrow, smooth stick.
Place in the pony's mouth and snug it upwards to the corner of the mouth on each side.
Mark the outside object on each side of the lips and measure the distance.
Make sure to measure headstall you'll need according to the kind of bit you are using.

NOTE: The mouthpiece measurement of the bits are NOT taken from inside the cheekpiece to inside the cheekpiece. The measurement for of the bit accounts for the needed space to prevent pinching. For example on the cow pony bit, the measurement of the bit starts inside of the ring that slides on the cheekpiece.
