Good size, well packaged
Does exactly what it says on the tin! Good size, well packaged. I already have a few horses who rise in this bit & one I bought it for had tried her & accepted it which is why I bought one for her

I've only ridden with this bit twice now but I love it already. It looks and feels like a nice quality bit and my crazy runaway pony already responds to it SO much better than the D-ring I was using before. So glad it comes in the 4.5 inch size too!! (Note: the image for this product is upside down, as well as the logo and measurement information printed on it - if you buy it be aware that the smaller rings attach to your cheek pieces and the larger rings attach to your reins! Using it the other way around is illegal for competitions as far as I know, and I don't know if it would work very well that way anyway even for practice.)
