A bradoon is used in conjunction with a curb bit. The difference between a bradoon and a regular bit lies in its thickness and the size of the rings.

The continuous rings ensure that the mouthpiece always assumes a neutral position and rests gently in the horse's mouth. The sides are designed to leave about one centimeter of space from the corner of the mouth. The horse can move the bit independently with its tongue.

The double-jointed mouthpiece distributes pressure evenly over the tongue and bars. The sweet-tasting SWEET Copper is particularly well accepted by horses and promotes chewing.

SWEET Copper Mouthpiece:

• Better acceptance: The sweet-tasting copper is especially well accepted by horses and encourages chewing.
• 90% copper, 7% iron, and aluminum
• Nickel-free and particularly durable

Effect:

• Neutral position in the horse’s mouth
• Even pressure distribution over the tongue and bars

Suitable for: 

• Horses whose chewing activity needs to be stimulated
• This bit can also be used for ponies as a snaffle bit due to its size

Association Approvals:

• Dressage: FEI, USEF, USDF, USEA
• Eventing: FEI, USEF, USEA
• Jumping: FEI, USEF, USEA

These approvals are the best information we have at this time, but correctness standards are ever evolving. Competitors are reminded that they are responsible for the correctness of their tack. If a rider is unsure of the correctness of any tack, it is the rider’s responsibility to confirm their equipment with the steward or technical delegate.
