The AK Full Jaw Bit, imbued with a Cooper Diamond and crafted with a Welding Iron Mouthpiece, is tailored for optimal directional control. Its design incorporates bars protruding from the cheek, a unique feature that facilitates head steering and turning. As the bit is turned, the reins’ pressure is asymmetrically distributed, focusing more on one side of the bit. This causes the bars on the opposite side to exert pressure against the cheek, thus encouraging the horse to turn its head.
This distinct feature is particularly beneficial for horses in the process of learning to respond to turning aids, as well as for those attempting to tilt their heads to evade pressure on the rein. The bars also act as a safety measure, preventing the bit from being forcibly pulled through the horse’s mouth. This makes it an ideal choice for young horses being introduced to road use, as it eliminates the need for pulling through the mouth during panic incidents.
Moreover, the AK Full Jaw Bit proves to be an invaluable asset for young and inexperienced riders who may lack the necessary experience to adequately support their inner reins. The mouthpiece, made of soft iron and coupled with a copper joint, fosters a friendly interaction with the horse. Its sweet taste aids in the acceptance of the bit. The warmth and softness of the materials stimulate salivation, further enhancing the horse’s comfort.
The AK Full Jaw Bit is available in a variety of sizes to accommodate different needs: 4.50 inches, 4.75 inches, 5.0 inches, 5.25 inches, 5.5 inches, 5.75 inches, and 6.00 inches. The bit is constructed from high-quality welding iron and sealed with a Cooper seal for durability and longevity. The mouthpiece has a thickness of 12mm, and the shank size measures 160mm.
