Suitable for horses that:
-
Fall out through the shoulder
-
Do not respond to the outside rein
-
Are green and learning to turn from the leg
-
Need steering help but lean when the bit becomes rigid
How it works
Mouthpiece. 14mm, double jointed, with curved cannons angled forward to follow the shape of the tongue. The lozenge lies flat on the tongue rather than standing upright between tongue and palate, so tongue pressure is spread across the width of the tongue. There is no nutcracker action and nothing reaches the palate. Cannons and lozenge are the same alloy throughout.
Cheek piece. At 85mm the ring is considerably larger than a standard loose ring, and that extra ring lies flat against the side of the face. When the inside rein is used the opposite ring presses against the cheek and gives the horse a clear boundary to turn away from, and the size of the ring prevents the bit being pulled through the mouth. Underneath it is still a loose ring: the ring runs through the mouthpiece, the horse can position the bit, and pressure comes off the moment the rein is given. The additional ring weight also gives a steadier feel in the hand.
