Watch LessonSegundo Petros
The Segundo alleviates tongue pressure while keeping an even pressure on the bars, encouraging the horse to stay light to the contact. Horses find it difficult to lean on this mouthpiece or put their tongue over the bit.
The Petros mouthpieces rotate preventing the horse taking hold of the bit. Often good for a horse that leans or tries to take hold of the bit.

Functionality
The Segundo Petros is ported to allow for tongue relief. Pressure descends onto the bars and due to the mouthpiece being a double break, it will create a squeeze on the bars – however this squeeze on the bars is less than the squeeze created by a single jointed mouthpiece. The addition of the Petros to the mouthpiece stops the horse from being able to hold onto the side of the bit. This can be especially useful in competition where the horse may try to grab the bit under stress, grabbing onto the bit will slow the horse’s response therefore losing precious seconds.
The port width is scaled in relation to the overall width of the mouthpiece. The smallest port will lie on the tongue, spreading pressure out over a larger surface area.
The Segundo is available in Sweet Iron. The Sweet Iron material was chosen as a metal option as it oxidizes. Oxidization encourages salivation and acceptance of the mouthpiece. The double break, Segundo Petros, is a broken mouthpiece and will take the shape of the horses mouth.
