Classic Equine Copper Correction Bit — 6" Cheek

The 6-inch cheek horse bit features a 2-1/2 inch purchase and a 3-1/2 inch shank, resulting in a mild cheek due to the purchase-to-shank ratio and the swept-back design of the shank. Contact with the mouth develops gradually as soft pressure is applied to all contact points, with primary contact at the corners of the mouth. The mouthpiece is copper-inlaid to stimulate salivation and is shaped to distribute pressure evenly across the bars, tongue, and corners of the mouth.

This bit is designed as a short-correction mouthpiece, providing a slight elevation from a snaffle and applying pressure to the chin, bars, and corners of the mouth, with additional emphasis on the tongue for nuanced feedback. It may be used with a training fork or martingale to assist with collection and poll control during training sessions.
