| The first photo [left] clearly shows the correct position to attach the bridle cheek straps - the reins then attach to the large rings behind the
bridle cheek straps. Note how the large ring lays down over the side bar. The second photo [right] clearly shows the Macs Equine Pee Wee bit set in the All Purpose position with the large rings turned down. Note the position of the side bar and how it points back to the riders legs. As the mouth bar is aligned with the side bars it gives you a good indication of the position the mouth bar is sitting in the horses mouth. It is positioned squarely and evenly over the tongue and bars which results in even pressure when rein contact is applied and as a result no discomfort from pinching the sensitive parts of the mouth such as the tongue and lips. It is also important to note that there are NO WRINKLES/CREASES in the corner of the horses mouth. The mouth bar should be only making passive contact when the cheek straps have been set at the correct length. Ensure that you can place a couple of fingers between the chin strap and the horse's chin. This strap is NOT a curb strap and only acts as security in keeping the bit in place and therefore should not put any pressure on the chin. You should expect it to take up to four rides before your horse has reached maximum performance with the Pee Wee bit. |

| Note how the large rings are turned up and away from the side bars. This results in the mouth bar sitting much higher in the mouth. You will
also notice how the side bars are facing downwards instead of facing back towards the riders knees. |

Pee Wee Bit ![]() |

Q: Why should I buy a Macs Equine Pee Wee bit ?A: Because, not only does the Pee Wee bit give amazing control requiring only light hands, it is extremely comfortable for your horse. Q: How do I get amazing control from the Pee Wee while at the same time it is so comfortable for my horse?A: The Pee wee bit is unique in design. The mouth bar of the bit sits squarely down over the tongue and onto the bars of the mouth, which automatically encourages your horse to flex at the pole so no tie downs are required. So basically your horse will be down over his work. When you pull on an individual rein only a small portion of the bit, known as the side bar contacts a very isolated area of the bottom jaw only which forces your horse to yield from this very precise pressure . Your horse cannot brace against the side bars. Other bits allow the horse to brace against the rings or shanks on the bit which gives absolutely no firm command and the result is a rigid neck with limited flex. |
