The Waterford mouthpiece is comprised of a series of ball shaped links, making it completely movable in all directions. This is particularly popular for combating issues such as leaning, taking hold of the bit and jaw setting. When the horse tries to take hold of the bit the mouthpiece collapses, leaving the horse with nothing rigid to take hold of.
The mouthpiece works to distribute pressure over the tongue and bars of the mouth. Coupled with simple, loose ring cheeks this bit is ideal for stronger horses who are known to lean or take hold of the bit. Should be worn 1/4" - 1/2" wider than standard to work effectively.
