This two ring gag allows the rein to be moved, increasing the leverage if needed. The peanut ensures the mouthpiece will not come in to contact with the palate when in action making it more comfortable and the apple flavour makes this EquiKind bit easy to accept.
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 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.
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 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.
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.
