The FES Spoon D Ring Bit with Hooks is designed for horses that are accustomed to working with a ported bit. Its spoon mouth sets upright in the mouth with a tipped top, encouraging the horse to flex at the poll. The hooks allow you to attach the bit to the bridle and reins, maintaining the bit in the most effective position. This feature assists in lightening up a heavy front end and promotes better carriage in the finished horse, making it excellent for horses that tend to over set their heads. The stainless steel mouth with a copper inlay encourages salivation and increases sensitivity, enhancing horse response. With large 3 1/2" stainless steel dees with hooks, this bit offers various leverage options for a tailored equestrian experience.
