Used this bit under a trainer’s guidance during advanced training. The stainless steel mouthpiece holds up well and is easy to clean. The lozenge design provides a clear response from the horse, though it requires careful handling.

After several months of use, the bit remains in excellent condition. The stainless steel is rust-free and the lozenge shape gives a strong, consistent feel. Only recommended for experienced riders.

The bit feels harsh on the horse’s tongue. I’m not sure it’s suitable for regular use. Used it only during supervised sessions with a professional trainer.
