Fit and Compatibility

The 7 cm ring diameter fits standard bridle cheekpieces and is compatible with most reins designed for snaffle bits. The 16 mm thickness is ideal for horses accustomed to moderate mouthpiece sizes.

Care Instructions

• Clean the bit regularly after use with warm water to remove saliva and dirt.
• Avoid harsh detergents; a mild soap can be used if necessary.
