All Purpose position - Recommended for all riding disciplines
This 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.
This photo clearly shows the Macs Equine Pee Wee bit set in the All Purpose position with the Large Rings turned Down .
This is the correct position for all riding disciplines . .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 WRINCKLES/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 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.
It is recommended that you bit your horse up and turn it out for an hour to mouth the bit before you commence a training session or ride. You should expect it to take up to four rides before your horse has reached maximum performance with the Pee Wee bit

Designed by a horseman, for horsemen and women!
Pee Wee Stevenson designed the bit to solve the many problems he faced with traditional bits and to provide an advantage whislt keeping the horse relaxed, making life easier for horse and rider. The Pee Wee Bit provides benefits for both Horse & Rider by Improving Communication and Performance.
Pee Wee Stevenson, a horseman all his life and having used a wide variety of horse tack, has called on his many years of working with horses to develop what is widely considered the best horse bit available - bar none! The Pee Wee Bit allows the rider to use the minimum amount of pressure for maximum control.
"...when the horse is soft the bit stays quiet in the mouth however as soon as the horse tries to evade the jaw control comes into effect giving an instant softening response.”
