The Peewee bit is a revolutionary new bit imported exclusively by The Saddlery Shop for sale in the UK. The Pee Wee bit is constructed with stainless steel bit rings and side bars, but the mouthpiece is made from "sweet iron" which oxidises to produce a sweet taste that horses enjoy. This rusting effect is totally harmless but encourages salivation and acceptance of the bit, unlike stainless steel which can cause a dry mouth a the lips to crack in the corner in some cases.
The Peewee bit was designed by Pee Wee Stevenson, to help give the rider an advantage. The peewee bit works by keeping the horse comfortable in his mouth and when the horse is soft the bit stays quiet in the mouth. However as soon as the horse tries to evade the jaw control comes into effect giving an instant softening response. The pee wee bit will also enhance steering and is fitted slightly differently to traditional bits as there are no wrinkles in the horses lips. There are 2 positions the peewee bit can be used in: The all purpose position shown in the left hand smaller photo, and the correctional position as shown in the right hand smaller photo.
The All Purpose position with the Large Rings turned Down, is the best position to start with and is ideal for general schooling, hacking and competition (where allowed). For horses that have 'tongue issues' and still manage to get their tongue over the bit in the all purpose position, the remedial position should be used as the peewee bit has its mouthpiece upwards which prevents the horse from putting his tongue over. It is very important to note that the bit should be fitted without any wrinkles in the lips, and a close fit is preferable (no 1/4" gap is necessary as with traditional bits). It is also important to ensure you can place a couple of fingers between the chin strap and the horse's chin as the strap only acts as security in keeping the bit in place and should not put any pressure on the chin as a curb would.
