How it works
Mouthpiece. An unjointed bar at 18mm, the widest bearing surface in the range. With no joint there is nothing to close on the bars, nothing to rise towards the palate and nothing to pinch at the lips, and rein pressure is spread across the full width of the tongue. A stainless steel wire core runs through the whole length, so under contact the bar takes a shallow curve and follows the shape of the tongue.
Cheek piece. A ring cheek introduces poll pressure and creates leverage on the mouthpiece. The half ring is what makes this version milder than a three or four ring. With the rein on the centre ring the bit works as a plain loose ring snaffle, with full movement and immediate release. With the rein on the lower ring poll pressure is introduced and the mouthpiece rotates and lifts in the mouth. The bridle ring is offset from the cheek so the bridle cheekpiece stays clear of the face. Over a leather bar the leverage is felt through a soft surface, which suits a horse that gets strong without wanting a hard bit.
