The flexible rubber bit has a steel wire running through is, so the bit can not break. The flexible bit is softer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack rubber has the disadvantage that if a horse has a drier mouth, the bit gets hot by friction and then can burn on the tongue. When a horse produces enough saliva, a rubber bit is the softer variant of a metal bit. The plastic variant is smoother and doesn’t have this problem.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Feeling","offers":[{"title":"12.5cm","offer_id":63979128389981,"sku":"602 042 125","price":34.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"13.5 CM","offer_id":64314012434781,"sku":"602 042 135","price":34.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"14.5cm","offer_id":63979128455517,"sku":"602 042 145","price":34.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1027\/5219\/0813\/files\/d-rub.jpg?v=1774455314","url":"https:\/\/horseonline.com\/products\/d-bit-single-jointed-rubber-19mm","provider":"HorseOnline","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
