7" Cheeks, 5" Mouth. The Solid Pleasure Bit is exactly what it says - a pleasure. The forward Sweetwater mouth makes this bit very easy for the horse to carry. The shape of the port along with the extra mullen relief is comfortable for the horse as it provides tongue relief while distributing any pressure evenly across the horse's mouth. Though this bit is mild, it has enough control when you need it without being overly aggressive. Sweet iron naturally rusts into a light patina. The rust creates a sweet taste for the horse, making the bit more acceptable and increasing salivation for a supple mouth.
