Cheeks

Loose Ring

A loose running ring characterizes a loose ring bit. A movable ring means greater flexibility of the bit in the mouth. The Stübben STEELtec Island Bridle, Double Jointed, is therefore ideal for beginners and horses that are somewhat inactive in the mouth.

Mouthpiece

Double Jointed

A double jointed mouthpiece is a very common mouthpiece. This mouthpiece has two hinges, is shaped more towards the mouth and sits a little looser in the horse's mouth. This bit exerts pressure on the tongue, the bars and the corners of the mouth. The bit should not be used with narrow lower jaws. The joints can press on the bars with a narrow lower jaw. Compared to a single jointed bit, this bit exerts more pressure on the tongue.

Bit Material

Stainless Steel

The most common material for bits is stainless steel. Stainless steel comes in different compositions and consists of steel and various metals. Steel, in turn, is iron that has been alloyed with carbon.

To obtain stainless steel, the steel is mixed with various metals to form different alloys. The most commonly used alloy for stainless steel bits consists of steel, chromium and nickel.
