Watch LessonSegundo
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.
Functionality
The Segundo 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 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 and Titanium. The Sweet Iron material was chosen as a metal option as it oxidizes. Oxidization encourages salivation and acceptance of the mouthpiece. The Titanium material was designed as an alternative metal option to sweet iron, this metal was specifically chosen due to its hypoallergenic nature. The double break, Segundo, is a broken mouthpiece and will take the shape of the horses mouth.
