Composition:Effect: Blue Steel. The Blue Steel alloy used in this Jump'In range is made of 54% carbon and 46% manganese.  EffectThe action of this bit will invite the horse to lower their head. The Classic 3-ring bit has a more direct lever effect than the German one. The self-blocking cannons articulate to a certain extent to keep some liberty while being sure of having a more important control if needed. Blue steel bit oxidizes with air and humidity creating a thin layer of rust which has a sweet taste. It will stimulate the production of saliva and naturally allow the horse to relax. The horse will be more comfortable and will take the bit more. The bit Colour will turn into a greyish brown due to this oxidation process.  Using adviceThis bit can be used with reins fixedly attached on the bottom rings, with bit loops or with two pairs of reins. The 3-ring blocked bit has more action that a classic French-mouth 3-ring bit. The cannons are thinner than standard ones so they will bring more finesse in the rider's demands.
