Hi Katie, That weighted bit does a couple of things. The weight of the rings puts a little more umph behind a pull. When I pull with one rein, it bumps a little harder on the side of the horse's mouth getting their attention a little easier. Also, the added weight makes the release faster when they find the right spot to put their head. The straight mouthpeice offers a different feel that some horses respond to better. I will say that I rarely use this bit more than a few times as they tend to become dull to it. I like to use it and go back to something lighter ASAP. That doesn't mean that a horse couldn't use it long term, just my experience. Hope this helps! Richard
