Details:
Dr. Bristol Full Cheek Bit featuring a twisted copper mouth.

• Mouthpiece: This specific model uses a "Dr. Bristol" center link, which is a flat, rectangular plate designed to apply more direct pressure on the horse's tongue than a standard French link. The mouthpiece is also twisted, adding more surface area and precision for clearer communication.

• Copper Material: The mouthpiece is made of copper, which is naturally warm and encourages salivation. This helps the horse maintain a "soft" mouth and accept the bit more readily.

• Full Cheek Design: The long vertical bars (cheeks) provide lateral guidance, assisting with steering by applying pressure to the side of the horse's face when a turn is requested. This design also prevents the bit from being pulled through the horse's mouth.
