Jump In Waterford Pessoa of Sweet Copper

The Waterford Sweet Copper Jump'In Pessoa is a high-quality bit designed to offer effective action and versatility in communication between rider and horse. Made from an alloy known as German Silver that promotes horse relaxation while ensuring exceptional durability and precise response.

Material Composition and Benefits

The German Silver material is a solid and reliable alloy that, thanks to its high copper content, positively affects the horse's salivation, helping to keep its mouth more relaxed and receptive to contact with the snaffle. This alloy is highly resistant and prevents rapid oxidation, ensuring a long life of the bit and keeping it in excellent condition over a prolonged period of use.

65% Copper, 23% Zinc, 12% Nickel

Action and Effect of the Bit

The Waterford Pessoa has a gag action, which exerts upward pressure when the reins are tightened, helping lift the horse's head and provide greater control in situations where more precision is required. Its classic three-ring design allows for various configurations of use, being more direct in its action than other types of bits in its category.

Features of the Waterford Barrel

The Waterford Barrel, formed by a series of articulated links, divides the contact points in the horse's mouth, allowing the bit to better conform to the shape of the mouth and distribute pressure more evenly. This makes it an excellent choice for horses that tend to lean too much on the bit, as it promotes a lightness of contact and reduces the horse's tendency to pull on the reins.

Flexibility in Use

This bit is highly versatile and can be used in a variety of ways depending on the needs of the rider and horse. It can be used with the reins permanently attached to the bottom ring, providing a stronger effect, or with bridges for an intermediate fit that softens contact. It can also be used with two pairs of reins, an option that allows greater control over the level of pressure applied, providing more precise riding that is adaptable to different circumstances.

Maintenance Tips

To ensure the longevity of the bit and the comfort of the horse, it is important to rinse the bit after each use. This prevents residue from building up that can cause discomfort to the horse or compromise the quality of the material over time.
