The lozenge lies flat on the tongue rather than standing upright between tongue and palate, so tongue pressure is spread across the width of the tongue. There is no nutcracker action and nothing reaches the palate. Cannons and lozenge are the same alloy throughout.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCheek piece.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA gag raises the bit in the mouth to encourage the head to lift, which is the answer for a strong horse that lowers the head to escape the action of the bit. When the gag rein is taken the mouthpiece slides up the cheekpiece, poll pressure is applied, and the bit rotates slightly so more pressure reaches the tongue and bars. It is ridden on two reins, one on the bit ring and one on the gag rein, with the gag rein brought into play only when it is needed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" data-pasted=\"true\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAurion is a high copper concentrated alloy. Copper oxidises gently in saliva and gives off a faint sweet, metallic taste, which draws the horse to mouth the bit and salivate. Because the whole mouthpiece is Aurion and not just the centre link, that taste runs the full length of the bar. Aurion also warms towards body temperature faster than steel. The colour deepens with use. Cheeks are stainless steel. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" data-pasted=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAllow 2 to 5mm clearance at each side so the ring can rotate. Aim for one to two soft wrinkles at the corners of the mouth. Gag cheekpieces are required and are not supplied with the bit. Cord runs faster and gives a sharper action; rolled leather runs more slowly and softly.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSize and fit\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\" align=\"left\"\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e4.5\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e5\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e5.5\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e115 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e125 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e140 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMouthpiece\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e14 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e14 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e14 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e70 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e70 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e70 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare Instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRinse and dry after use.
