Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How should I adjust the Sherry Cervi Signature Collection bit for the best fit?

For optimal communication, we recommend adjusting your headstall so the bit sits with exactly one wrinkle at the corners of the horse's mouth. This allows the mouthpiece to make contact before any gag or curb action engages.

Q: Why does the mouthpiece have copper inlays?

The copper in the Sherry Cervi Signature Collection 5" Mouthpiece creates a taste that encourages salivation. A "wet" mouth is generally more sensitive and responsive to rider cues than a dry one.

Q: Is this bit suitable for a young horse just starting out?

This collection follows a mild-to-strong progression. While the shorter shank or snaffle options are excellent for colts, the longer shank versions are best reserved for seasoned horses that need more rate and leverage.
