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.
An effective alternative to a bit, the Tough 1 Padded Leather Nose Multi-Ring Hackamore offers a contoured and comfortable design that uses leverage to apply pressure to certain areas of the face, nose, and chin when the reins are engaged. This stainless steel multi-ring hackamore features an adjustable padded noseband and a leather curb strap for ultimate comfort and ease of use.
The unique and versatile 5 1/2 inch stainless steel "flower" shanks offer multiple position options to increase or decrease the amount of pressure applied by the leverage of the rein. With so many adjustment variations, the Tough 1 Multi-Ring Hackamore is perfect for both western and English riders alike!
