Wilkie Elliptical
QUANTITY
Expert opinion : The wilkie is a great schooling bit with a wide centre piece creating greater tongue pressure and reducing bar pressure. This particular joint exerts more pressure than the control plate or Elliptical. Recommended schooling bit, the link is wider than the buster roller increasing tongue pressure and lessening bar pressure, but not to underestimate that this is a strong mouth piece.
BARREL THICKNESS
*Unless mentioned in the options, the thickness of the barrel is :
Size (mm) | Barrel thickness (mm) |
< 115 | 12 |
115 - 130 | 14 |
> 130 | 16 |
Please note : This bit is small, we advise you to take 1 size above.
Sweet Iron : Sweet Iron alloy oxidizes upon contact with moisture in the mouth and air. The oxidation brings a sweet taste that naturally stimulates the production of saliva. This corresponds to the effect of a sugar that is given to the horse at the beginning of the session but allows to diffuse this sweet taste throughout the work. Therefore, this alloy allows a good acceptance of the bit and helps the horse to make contact with the mouthpiece. The oxidation modifies the aspect of the bit during the sessions.
