Fine hand-polished blue steel finish that gives off a taste enjoyed by the horse and stimulates salivation. Curved to reduce the "nutcracker" action and to alleviate pressure on the tongue and bars of the mouth. Prevents contact with the roof of the horses mouth. Allows for effective communication between horse and rider whilst encouraging relaxation and salivation. A mobile bit which discourages fixing and leaning on the forehand.
Anatomy-inspired double jointed bit design with enhanced mouthpiece stability, through optimised alignment of the mouthpiece surfaces to the tongue and palate.

The Korsteel JP Flexi Bits are made from hi-tech plastic which has been moulded around a core of stainless steel, so the durability of the bit is not compromised. 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.
An in-hand bit, the Chifney is not designed for use while riding and can be severe - use with care. Good for horses that are difficult to lead - the leadrope attaches to the loose ring at the back of the bit. Chifney bit strap available separately. Stainless steel is the most common material for bits. Durable, easy to clean, tasteless and does not rust.
A gentle bit accepted by most horses. The fastened rings on an eggbutt bit make the movement of the hand work directly. The double-jointed mouthpiece puts more pressure on the tongue. German silver has a pleasant sweet taste and heats up quickly.
The JP Oval Mouth Eggbutt Snaffle bit is a gentle, comfortable, three piece snaffle bit with a curved mouthpiece designed to fit more comfortably in the horse's mouth.
JP Korsteel Sweet Iron Jointed Loose Ring Snaffle is a nice bit for horses with a fairly large tongue or small mouth, being curved in the mouthpiece and not too thick in the bars.
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 bit is also very well suited to horses that play with their tongues, trying to put the tongue over the bit, as the port effectively prevents this.
