Bits

The Uttoxeter Kimblewick has a port mouth and slotted rings. The kimblewick action is similar to that of a hanging cheek with the added advantage of the curb chain. The port mouth mouthpiece of the Kimblewick helps to alleviate tongue pressure, whilst the slotted bit ring can be used to change the action of the curb chain and the amount of poll pressure applied.

Hanging cheeks help to encourage flexion, whilst the lozenge prevents the nutcracker effect of a single joint.

The loose ring cheek has greater movement than a fixed cheek which can discourage fixing and leaning. The loose brass alloy discs in the centre of the bit can help to soothe a fussy tongued horse.

The Dutch Gag has a French link in it which means pressure is applied to both sides of the tongue.

The loose ring cheek can discourage fixing and leaning as it has much more movement than a fixed cheek to follow the angle of the tongue. The shaped lozenge offers even pressure and encourages mouthing and contact. Mouthpiece thickness: 15mm. Cheek height: 65mm.

The French link in this bit means pressure is applied to both sides of the tongue. Some horses with low palates may find this bit more comfortable as it is unlikely to make contact with the palate when the bit comes in to action. The full cheeks assist with steering.

This is a traditional French link with a flat plate. It has small loose rings making it perfect for horses with small heads and those who require more movement in the bit.

This EquiKind loose ring allows movement in the horse's mouth whilst the ripples on the mouthpiece add a little pressure for extra control. Apple flavoured, very mild and perfect for mouthing young horses. Mouthpiece thickness: 18mm. Cheek height: 65mm.

The loose ring cheek has greater movement than a fixed cheek which can discourage fixing and leaning. The loose brass alloy discs in the centre of the bit can help to soothe a fussy tongued horse.

The Team Up is the ergonomically modernised French Link; a much more comfortable mouthpiece that promotes better performance all round. This lozenge is designed to share the tongue contact area with the adjacent loops to give a smoother feel over the tongue. The double joint allows more flexibility ensuring a clearer and more independent rein aid.

The NS Tranz mouthpiece is ergonomically designed for both comfort and communication. A very popular comfortable mouthpiece that promotes feel and responsiveness encouraging a soft sustainable contact.
