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 JP Curve Korsteel French Link Loose Ring Bit is a great option for schooling as well as competition and is a must-have for your tack room. The traditional loose ring cheekpiece gives this bit a classic finish suitable for any English discipline.
This bit features curved bars that contour to the horse's mouth for a comfortable fit. The three-piece French Link mouthpiece prevents the "nutcracker" action of single-jointed mouthpieces and instead applies moderate tongue pressure in a more even manner across the tongue, bars, and lips when reins are engaged.
