Premier Equine Pessoa bit for double-jointed horses

The Universal Bit combines probing pressure and leverage, making it ideal for those who need a little more control. The blue soft iron mouthpiece oxidizes easily, creating a warm feeling and sweet taste in the horse's mouth, helping him accept the bit. Please note that the blue color fades with use, which is normal.

Also known as a bit continental, it works by lifting the bit into the horse's mouth in the same manner as a traditional gag, but without the same severity. Probing pressure can be applied using the lower rings. This bit is a softer option than the three-ring Dutch gag and is ideal for cavaliers who need a little more control when jumping or doing rapid work, but don't require massive pressure on the neck.

Measurements according to our size guide for this bit are as follows:
4.5" & 5" - A=15mm & B=115mm
5.5" - A=15mm & B=130mm

Blue soft iron bits oxidize easily, creating a warm, sweet taste in the horse's mouth, causing him to salivate. Some horses often prefer the warm feeling of soft iron over stainless steel, which is naturally cooler. This makes soft iron bits ideal for sensitive horses or those that need encouragement to accept the bit.
