Expert opinion : The tandem bit is soft and therefore interesting for horses with delicate mouths. The Poponcini rubber bits are flexible, the aim being to distribute as much pressure as possible on the horse's tongue and bars in order to offer optimum comfort and contact between rider and horse. It has the particularity of having a "square" barrel with rounded corners in order to enlarge the area in contact with the tongue and the palate. Poponcini bits have mini washers moulded into the bit for comfort. The straight bit allows a symmetrical contact of the mouth so that the horse wants to come a little against the bit. This is why some riders use them from the beginning. Poponcini bits have a brass ring reinforcement to allow the rings to turn easily. They also have mini washers moulded into the bit for extra comfort. The Tandem bit is used with only one rein. It works by pressing on the muzzle, the lower jaw branches and the neck: by increasing the pull of the reins, a slight lifting effect of the bit is also achieved. This bit is particularly suitable for horses which are too sensitive to the effect of a bit in the mouth but which cannot be ridden with a hackamore either.
Rubber : This material is a soft textured mouthpiece which brings a lot of comfort to the horse. It is very appreciated by horses that are sensitive and that have tendancy to refuse the contact. Additionally, the rubber bits do not suffer from temperature fluctuation. This means that your bit will always be at an acceptable temperature for your horse and you won't have the "brain freeze effect" on a iron bit on a cold winter day for example. There are 3 levels of flexibility : Harmony A, Harmony 1 and Harmony 2. The Harmony 1 is the most popular as it bends at 90°. The mouthpiece is reinforced with a flexible steel cable inside. It's important to obtain a minimum of salivation from the mouth for optimal use and to avoid any risk of overheating due to the rubbing of the rubber in the mouth. Handcrafted.
Caution : This material is vulnerable and is not guaranteed by the manufacturer against wear and tear due to biting. We strongly advise against using a bit that is too damaged, as this could injure the horse's bars, tongue and palate.
