Watch LessonSpinner Petros
The Spinner sits on top of the horses tongue and prevents the horse putting its 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 Spinner creates a pressure on the tongue. The spinner sits flat on the horses tongue, due to the wide center component, pressure is spread over a large surface area. 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 Snaffle 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 Spinner 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, Spinner, is a flexible mouthpiece and will take the shape of the horses mouth.
