It is. Horses love the taste of copper and that's why so may bits are made of copper, copper inlay, or copper plated. Copper is a soft metal and it mixes well the the horse's saliva. If you see a horse that is foaming at the mouth it means he likes his bit and its working well with the spit. Some people think copper makes horses calmer and happier. They even put pennies in the water trough so they get a small dose while drinking. Interesting Fact:You have to use old pennies. Newer pennies don't have enought copper in them. From 1965 back is a good reference.
