This bit offers an attractive design and its small size is perfect for ponies! 6" cheeks provide enough control for beginners while the 3-piece dog bone mouth has a softer touch than the traditional single-joint, with the addition of copper coils and sweet iron to encourage salivation. The cheeks have an antique finish and silver detailing for a classic Western appeal. The 4 5/8" mouth is ideal for petite horses and medium to large ponies.
