• Change impact levels by simply switching the sides
• Prevents a desensitization of the horse’s mouth
• The ‘SWEET Copper’ link activates saliva production and ensures a better acceptance
• 16mm thick
• 70mm rings
• 1 Bit – 2 impact levels
  1. If you buckle the more angular side of the bit towards the horse’s
  tongue, the pressure occurs more selectively. The manual guidance of the
  rider can therefore be more accurate with quite more effective aids.
  2. If you buckle the round side towards the horse’s tongue, the
  pressure spreads over a larger area. The rounder side of the bit is a
  good option for sensitive horses.
  Switching the sides of the bit from time to time prevents a desensitization of the horse’s mouth.
  If the sign is visible on the mounting side, the more effective side
  is in use. If you cannot see the sign from the mounting side, the softer
  side is in use.

  accept the bit

  • Young horses or inexperienced riders should always gain experience
  with a loose ring snaffle before trying out a D-Ring Bit or other bits
