Key Features
-
Non-ToxicNon-Toxic
Bits that are made from non-toxic materials, unlike most plastics, rubbers, and metals, are a safer option for horses who need a gentler bit.
-
Increased PalatabilityIncreased Palatability
Bits that increase palatability often incorporate sweet metals (such as copper and iron) or flavored plastics which encourage the horse to salivate, relax their jaw, and accept the bit. They may be inlaid into the bars, be the roller or lozenge, or make up the entire bar.
-
Leverage PressureLeverage Pressure
These bits use indirect pressure that multiplies the amount of force exerted on the horse's mouth, nose, or poll. They are used by riders who have little to no contact or are looking for more finesse and control.
-
Direct PressureDirect Pressure
Bits that use direct pressure have a 1:1 ratio where the pressure exerted on the reins will be the same pressure felt in the mouth. They are used by riders who often have contact with their horse's mouth.
A functional bit at an affordable price, the Centaur Hunter Dee Ring Snaffle Bit is an excellent option for schooling as well as competition and is a must-have for your tack room. The traditional hunter dee ring cheekpiece gives this bit a classic finish suitable for several English disciplines and is most popular in the hunter/jumper arena.
The single-jointed mouthpiece applies pressure over the horse's tongue and bars while the dee-ring cheek piece prevents the bit from being pulled through the horse's mouth, thus preventing pinching and irritation.
