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.
The Herm Sprenger Satinox Single Jointed D-Ring Bit offers an anatomically correct fit to optimize the communication between horse and rider. Satinox bits are ergonomically shaped and made of high-quality stainless steel with a satin mouthpiece for a comfortable feel against the horse's tongue. A neutral taste does not increase mouthing activity or activate salivating. The curved shape provides the tongue plenty of room while also distributing even pressure for direct and precise communication. The single-jointed construction lies steady in the horse's mouth while the D-rings provide lateral support. This versatile bit is a great choice for all types of horses, disciplines, and training levels.
