The J.P. Korsteel Hunter Dee Copper Oval Mouth Bit is a stainless steel, double-jointed bit designed to provide mild, effective communication while maximizing comfort. Its curved mouthpiece helps reduce the traditional “nutcracker” action, alleviating pressure on the tongue and bars and preventing contact with the roof of the horse’s mouth.
The copper oval link encourages salivation and relaxation, promoting softness and improved acceptance of the bit. Designed as a milder option, it creates less pressure than a standard French link while maintaining clear communication between horse and rider.
The Dee ring cheekpiece offers a practical compromise between an eggbutt and a full cheek snaffle. It helps prevent pinching at the corners of the mouth, while still providing gentle lateral guidance.
