The mouthpiece is specially designed for horses with large or sensitive tongues that need additional space in the mouth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wide port is angled at 45 degrees, providing more room and freedom of movement for the tongue. When the curb rein is taken up, the mouthpiece rotates and the port moves with it. This helps maintain as much tongue relief as possible while the bit is in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe U-shaped port changes how pressure is distributed across the mouth, helping to relieve pressure on the tongue. This may encourage a quieter, more consistent contact in horses that react strongly when the reins are taken up, withdraw behind the bit or experience discomfort with their current Weymouth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCharles has a mouthpiece thickness of 14 mm. The regular Weymouth has 7 cm shanks, while the baby Weymouth has 5 cm shanks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hooks and curb chain are included. A curb chain guard must be purchased separately, and you are responsible for obtaining one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSweet Iron is a coating applied to a stainless steel mouthpiece. This coating gives the bit a slightly sweet taste, which may encourage the horse to seek contact with the bit and maintain a steadier connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith use, the Sweet Iron oxidises and gradually develops a brownish-grey colour. This is a normal characteristic of the material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDo you have any questions or need advice on choosing the right bit for your horse?
