  • Size: The bit is 5 inches in width, making it suitable for horses that require a medium-sized bit.
  • Material: Copper is used in the mouthpiece for its properties that encourage relaxation and acceptance of the bit by the horse. The sidepieces are made of stainless steel, which is durable, rust-resistant, and provides strength.
  • Mouthpiece: The copper jointed mouth encourages salivation, which helps keep the horse's mouth soft and responsive. The jointed feature allows for independent movement on each side of the bit, giving more nuanced control and communication with the horse.
  • Comfort: The jointed copper mouthpiece is especially beneficial for horses that are sensitive in the mouth or those that tend to resist a bit made from harder materials.
  • Versatility: This type of bit is often used for trotting disciplines like harness racing, but can also be utilized in other forms of driving or pleasure riding. It's designed for horses that need moderate control without excessive pressure on the mouth.

    The 5" Trotting Bit with Copper Jointed Mouth and Stainless Steel Sides is a versatile bit commonly used for trotting horses in harness racing or other equestrian disciplines. The 5-inch mouthpiece is crafted from copper, which encourages salivation, softens the horse's mouth, and promotes a more responsive connection between the horse and rider or driver.

    The jointed mouthpiece provides a "nutcracker" effect, applying pressure to the horse's bars and tongue, while also allowing independent movement of each side, which helps with lateral control. This feature makes it easier to guide and communicate with the horse, especially during precise movements such as turns.

    The stainless steel sides are durable, resistant to rust, and add strength to the bit, ensuring long-lasting performance even with frequent use. This bit is designed to offer moderate pressure and control, making it ideal for horses that are accustomed to bit pressure but still need clear guidance from the rider or driver.
