Metalab Santa Fe Pony Correctional Bit

The correctional mouthpiece is designed to provide clear, precise communication between the rider and the pony. It offers more tongue relief than a solid mouthpiece while allowing for independent side action, which helps refine steering and control.

Copper rollers are used to encourage salivation, which keeps the pony's mouth soft and responsive. By keeping the mouth moist, the bit is less likely to cause discomfort or dryness during training sessions.

Yes, the 6-inch short shank is specifically proportioned for smaller equines. It provides enough leverage for effective communication without being overly severe or disproportionate to a pony's head size.

The 1.5-inch port offers moderate tongue relief, which prevents the bit from applying constant pressure to the tongue. This makes it a balanced choice for ponies that need a bit more room in the mouth but don't require a high-port curb.

This bit is generally best suited for ponies that have moved past the initial stages of training and need more refined cues. Because it is a leverage bit with a correctional mouthpiece, it requires a rider with soft, educated hands to use it effectively.
