Bits

Stainless steel. Thick double-jointed mouthpiece with anatomic cyprium link.

This bit works by putting pressure on the poll and the tongue. Attaching the reins to the lower rings will increase severity, it should be used with care.

This bit has a 18mm mouthpiece making it more comfortable for the horse with a larger tongue. The lozenge helps to encourage a softer contact.

The Universal cheek provides a number of rein options including the option of a curb strap. But whatever option you choose, the flattened underside of the FlexZ cannons with their anatomy-inspired recesses are held parallel to the tongue whatever riding activity you enjoy.

The Beris 3 ring bit is characterised by the numerous possibilities of buckling, which, depending on the choice of the ring, reduces or increases the leverage of the bit. The special feature of this bit is the high arched bar, which with a height of 30mm creates optimal space for the tongue and minimizes the pressure on it. The flattened form of the tongue arch offers the highest comfort, which makes the bit ideal for horses that are sensitive to pressure. The bit is also popular with so-called "tongue players", these horses often tend to push the tongue over the bit, which is effectively prevented by the high arch of the tongue bar.

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.

Sweet iron and copper encourages salivation and produces a pleasant taste in the horse's mouth. Raised copper ribs can help to prevent the horse taking too much of a hold. Three rings offer leverage options to increase severity.

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.

Anatomy-inspired double jointed bit design with enhanced mouthpiece stability, through optimised alignment of the mouthpiece surfaces to the tongue and palate.

The Team Up is the ergonomically modernised French Link; a much more comfortable mouthpiece that promotes better performance all round.

If your horse is tentative into the contact (inconsistent), the NS Tranz Eggbutt offers the stability within the mouth needed to boost the horse’s confidence encouraging it to seek the bit, taking the rein forwards. Very beneficial for short tense necks and excellent for directional control. Unlike traditional Eggbutt designs, combining this NS cheek and NS Tranz mouthpiece, feel and response is not lost and the horse is far less likely to lean and fix against the hand.
