Expert opinion : The Poponcini single rubber bit is dedicated to delicate mouths. The barrel is flexible, the aim being to remove as much compression as possible on the horse's tongue and bars in order to offer optimal comfort and contact between the rider and his horse. The Poponcini bits have a brass ring reinforcement to allow the rings to turn easily. They also have mini washers molded into the bit for more comfort. Its shape allows a symmetrical contact, that's why some riders use it as soon as they break-in. It is a good tool for a sensitive horse that does not make enough contact. The Harmony 2 version is the least flexible of the 3 versions of the poponcini barrel and the most popular.
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 2 bends at 45°. 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.
