5.5″ Mikmar Cupreon Ergom Lozenge Loose Ring Snaffle

Here is a nice, quality, yet affordable bit from the famed bit maker Mikmar. 5.5″, 16mm mouth, that offers a longer and thicker lozenge than many bits. In hardly used condition. USEF/USDF legal! Per Mikmar:

With its unique long grooved center link, the Mikmar Cupreon Ergom Lozenge Loose Ring Snaffle Bit has been designed to conform comfortably to the horse’s mouth, creating even pressure across the tongue. A copper alloy created exclusively for Mikmar, Cupreon is non-toxic and nickel-free, warms easily in the mouth, and encourages salivation and acceptance of the aids. Cupreon Ergöm Lozenge is a double-jointed style mouthpiece with a unique center link. The Ergöm Lozenge is a grooved center link and is an ideal size and shape for effectiveness and comfort. The bars of the mouthpiece measure 16mm and are curved, fitting properly and conforming to each individual horses mouth. The shape of the mouthpiece combined with its horizontal position eliminates the undesirable “ nutcracker action” reducing pinching, with no palate interference. Because it breaks to the outside of the tongue, it also softens excessive pressure to the center of the tongue and presents a more consistent feel across the mouth. “Cupreon” encourages salvia production and helps keep a mouth soft and fresh over time. Horses accept the mouthpiece well; they chew and relax, resulting in a horse that is content and better prepared to perform.
