Confidence II is an educational mouthpiece, giving the horse a stable platform from which to understand the rein aids and develop confidence in the contact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"4115\" data-end=\"4394\"\u003eThe gently curved, double-jointed mouthpiece incorporates a very small central lozenge and Aster’s lock-up action. This limits excessive collapse and movement through the joints without making the mouthpiece completely rigid, creating an even, predictable feel across the tongue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"4396\" data-end=\"4674\"\u003eThis can be particularly useful for horses that become inconsistent in the contact, dip in and out of the connection or appear confused by excessive movement. The double-jointed profile can also offer an alternative for horses that are sensitive to the action of a single joint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"4676\" data-end=\"5027\"\u003eThe Dee Ring provides additional stability and lateral support, helping to make steering and directional aids clear. The fixed cheek creates a more immediate and consistent rein connection than a loose ring, making this combination particularly useful when establishing the fundamentals of turning, lateral guidance and a confident forward connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"5029\" data-end=\"5371\"\u003eThe Sweet Iron mouthpiece naturally oxidises with use, producing its characteristic taste, which can encourage acceptance and salivation. Combined with the stability of the Confidence II design and Dee Ring cheek, it creates a practical educational bit for young and developing horses and those that need greater consistency from the contact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"5373\" data-end=\"5411\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"5373\" data-end=\"5411\"\u003eMAY PARTICULARLY SUIT HORSES THAT:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"5413\" data-end=\"6000\"\u003e• Are young, green or developing their understanding of the rein aids.\u003cbr data-start=\"5483\" data-end=\"5486\"\u003e• Are being broken or started and require additional steering support.\u003cbr data-start=\"5556\" data-end=\"5559\"\u003e• Need a stable and predictable mouthpiece.\u003cbr data-start=\"5602\" data-end=\"5605\"\u003e• Become unsettled or confused by excessive movement.\u003cbr data-start=\"5658\" data-end=\"5661\"\u003e• Dip in and out of the contact.\u003cbr data-start=\"5693\" data-end=\"5696\"\u003e• Hang or become inconsistent on one rein.\u003cbr data-start=\"5738\" data-end=\"5741\"\u003e• Are sensitive to conventional single-jointed mouthpieces.\u003cbr data-start=\"5800\" data-end=\"5803\"\u003e• Benefit from the characteristic taste and feel of Sweet Iron.\u003cbr data-start=\"5866\" data-end=\"5869\"\u003e• Need encouragement towards acceptance and salivation.\u003cbr data-start=\"5924\" data-end=\"5927\"\u003e• Need a clear foundation before progressing to a more mobile mouthpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"6002\" data-end=\"6022\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"6002\" data-end=\"6022\"\u003eDESIGN FEATURES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"6024\" data-end=\"6678\"\u003e• Aster Confidence II educational mouthpiece.\u003cbr data-start=\"6069\" data-end=\"6072\"\u003e• Double-jointed lock-up construction.\u003cbr data-start=\"6110\" data-end=\"6113\"\u003e• Very small central lozenge.\u003cbr data-start=\"6142\" data-end=\"6145\"\u003e• Gently curved profile.\u003cbr data-start=\"6169\" data-end=\"6172\"\u003e• Lock-up action limits excessive collapse and unnecessary movement.\u003cbr data-start=\"6240\" data-end=\"6243\"\u003e• Sweet Iron mouthpiece naturally oxidises with use.\u003cbr data-start=\"6295\" data-end=\"6298\"\u003e• Characteristic Sweet Iron taste can encourage acceptance and salivation.\u003cbr data-start=\"6372\" data-end=\"6375\"\u003e• Dee Ring provides stability and lateral guidance.\u003cbr data-start=\"6426\" data-end=\"6429\"\u003e• Fixed cheek creates a clear and consistent rein connection.\u003cbr data-start=\"6490\" data-end=\"6493\"\u003e• Supports steering and directional aids.\u003cbr data-start=\"6534\" data-end=\"6537\"\u003e• Popular choice for breaking and starting young horses.\u003cbr data-start=\"6593\" data-end=\"6596\"\u003e• Designed to establish confidence before introducing greater mouthpiece mobility.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aster","offers":[{"title":"115mm","offer_id":57319420363092,"sku":"C2-SI-115-DEE","price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"125mm","offer_id":57319420395860,"sku":"C2-SI-125-DEE","price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"135mm","offer_id":57319420428628,"sku":"C2-SI-135-DEE","price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"145mm","offer_id":57319420461396,"sku":"C2-SI-145-DEE","price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0954\/3453\/9348\/files\/9_585fc0e4-b479-46d0-af9b-d74b8bfe0213.png?v=1790596680","url":"https:\/\/asterhorse.com\/products\/aster-confidence-ii-sweet-iron-dee-ring","provider":"Aster bits ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
