Pony Millennium Speculum – With Pony Mouth Plates & Biothane or Leather Straps | Equine Tools Direct

 Key Features

1. Material/Construction: High‑grade polished stainless steel (often drop‑forged for strength) ensures durability, corrosion resistance, easy cleaning. Example: “drop forged stainless steel” in one variant.
2. Ratchet Settings: Multiple fine ratchet positions allow secure and precise adjustment to pony mouth width. For example: “deep ratchet to ensure comfortable fitting” in pony version. 
3. Bite Plates (Pony Mouth Plates): The model should come with pony‑appropriate bite plates (rather than full‑horse size) so that the contact area is correct for the smaller jaw/teeth. For example, the pony version includes sets of plates: “two sets of plates … stainless steel & leather bite plates.”
4. Strap Material Options:
5. Biothane (Biothene): Waterproof, easy‑clean synthetic straps, durable in clinical/field use. Example: “hard‑wearing biothane straps that are easy to clean” for the standard Millennium speculum. 
6. Leather: Traditional strap material; some pony versions list leather backings/straps. Example: “with 'A' grade leather backings … Leather belts” for pony version. 
7. “Spreader Bar” Effect / Side Arm Geometry: Some models mention that the speculum maintains side arms away from the cheek (prevents pressure or collapse). For example: “spreader bar effect … sides of the speculum bent outwards and do not collapse into the horse’s cheek.”
