Manufacturer Information

Mouthpiece

Double jointed

Double jointed mouthpieces are suitable for many horses. This mouthpiece has two joints, is more shaped to the mouth, and lies a little looser in the horse's mouth. This bit applies pressure to the tongue, the bars, and the corners of the mouth. Caution with narrow lower jaws! The hinge points can press on the bars, which can lead to sores. The double jointed bit exerts more pressure on the tongue compared to single jointed bits.

Side Piece

Gag Bit

The gag bit combines leverage on the lower jaw branches, pressure on the poll, and a change in the position of the bit in the horse's mouth. The gag bit allows for three different ways of attaching the reins, enabling a well-dosed use of the bit. The stable side pieces ensure a calm position in the mouth.
