Handcrafted bridoon bit in brass and nickel silver.
This is the bit used for double bridles: a slim mouthpiece with small rings, fitted above the curb bit on its own headpiece. It retains the action of a snaffle while the curb bit refines the horse’s outline. The double-jointed design eliminates the nutcracker effect of a single joint: the central link lies on the tongue instead of rising toward the palate. Pressure is distributed across the bars, tongue, and corners of the mouth. The entire KavalBit range is shaped and finished by hand from an alloy of 70% brass and 30% nickel silver. Brass has a taste that horses readily accept and helps promote salivation; the shanks are made of stainless steel, with no free nickel, so there is no risk for metal-sensitive horses. Corrosion resistance is excellent.
