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 Stubben Steeltec Flower Ring Hackamore Bit offers a different communication method other than a traditional bit. Multiple adjustment points allow for proper pressure distribution across the poll and nose bridge. By attaching straps to different sections of the ring, the rider can alter the amount of leverage they have and change how pressure is applied to discover what each individual horse prefers. The flower ring design makes this hackamore a great choice if you are exploring bitless options.
