rehabilitation, and recovery phases after dental care.<\/p><p>It is a practical tool intended for riders, trainers, and equine health professionals, designed to support a fairer and more respectful way of working with the horse, while taking its oral sensitivity into account.<\/p><p>The bit remains an essential tool of communication between rider and horse, as well as a key element of safety. PROTECis in no way intended to replace it, but rather to integrate with it as a complementary solution, providing additional comfort for the horse. <\/p><p>Designed as a protective aid for the mandibular bars, PROTEC helps improve the horse\u2019s oral comfort without altering the function, mechanics, or adjustment of the bit, and while fully respecting the natural mobility of the tongue.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7a75783 elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"7a75783\"

PROTEC is made from safe, non-toxic materials, including biocompatible silicone, suitable for prolonged contact with the horse\u2019s oral mucosa.<br>Its purpose is to improve oral comfort by reducing certain pressure points and areas of sensitivity, without altering the mechanical action of the bit, restricting tongue mobility, or masking potential lesions.<br>PROTEC is designed as a tool for training, observation, and support.   <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wd-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wd-accordion-title wd-role-btn\" data-accordion-index=\"1\" tabindex=\"0\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wd-accordion-title-text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFor what type of horses is PROTEC recommended?\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wd-accordion-opener\"><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wd-accordion-content wd-entry-content\" data-accordion-index=\"1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>All horses using a bit can benefit from PROTEC.

The non-slip pads contribute to keeping the entire assembly secure.
