Using this bit is easy. Just place it in your horse's mouth like you would with any other bit. Make sure it fits properly and doesn't cause any discomfort. When using it for training or in the show arena, start with light contact to allow your horse to get used to it. As your horse becomes more accustomed, you can adjust the pressure as needed. For maintenance, after each use, clean the bit with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. You can also soak it in a mild cleaning solution occasionally. Store it in a dry place to prevent rust and damage. Always check the bit regularly for any signs of wear and tear, and replace it if necessary.
