The tongue port bar gives the horse‘s tongue enough room because of the flattened area on the port. Many horses respond to this with improved suppleness and increased chewing. And yet this bit is also well suited to horses that play with their tongues, trying to put the tongue over the bit, as the port effectively prevents this. Therefore this bit is eminently suitable for horses that do not tolerate pressure on the tongue from conventionally shaped bits and react with head-tossing and the like.
The tongue port bar has a specially flattened shape to the port. This means the tongue has an optimum amount of room. Many horses respond to this with improved suppleness and increased chewing.

This anatomically correct bit sits lightly and evenly on tongue and bars and provides more room and freedom of movement for the tongue. When the reins are taken up, pressure is applied evenly on tongue and bars. A lateral squeezing of tongue and bars will not take place. Bit guards prevent pinching of the lips. Thanks to its slightly curved shape, the comfort bar sits very still in the horse"s mouth. Bits with a slightly curved bar are considered to be particularly gentle and kind to the mouth. This property, in combination with our beris plastic, enables the horse and rider to communicate with each other in an easier and more gentle way.
Stainless steel. Helps bending at the poll and setting the head with a slight leverage effect. Allows to lift the front end of ponies who put a bit too much weight on their shoulders.
The flexi mouthpiece is 'warmer' than a traditional stainless steel mouthpiece, which encourages acceptance of the bit. For this reason, the flexi mouthpiece is a good choice for younger horses and those with a sensitive mouth.
The D cheek copper roller snaffle is often used for horses that need something stronger than a jointed bit if they lean or try to grab the bit. Alternating stainless steel and copper rollers set along the mouthpiece of the snaffle.
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.
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.
