Suitable for horses that:
-
Lean on the hand and feel stiff through the jaw
-
Set against the rein and do not soften
-
Are dry in the mouth and produce little salivation
-
Drop behind the contact instead of seeking it
-
Are young and learning to accept a steady contact
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 instead of concentrating at one point. There is no nutcracker action and nothing reaches the palate.
Cheek piece. The bit rings run through the mouthpiece rather than being fixed to it, so the mouthpiece can move and the horse can carry the bit slightly higher or lower in the mouth. Pressure comes off the moment the rein is given and the bit returns to a neutral position. Loose rings suit a horse that is stiff or hard in the hand, because there is no fixed surface to set against. The shaped barrel where the mouthpiece meets the ring covers the hole, so bit guards are not needed.
