Handcrafted D-ring bit, made of brass and nickel silver.
The D-rings combine the stability of eggbutt rings with clear lateral action, without the bulk of full-cheek snaffles. This is the traditional bit for hunters and young horses jumping. The single joint acts on the bars and corners of the mouth, with a slight pinching effect on the palate when both reins are used together. It is the most widely used mouthpiece, one that most horses are already familiar with. The entire KavalBit range is shaped and finished by hand, using an alloy of 70% brass and 30% nickel silver. Brass has a taste that horses readily accept and encourages salivation; the shanks are made of stainless steel, with no free nickel, so there is no risk for sensitive horses. Corrosion resistance is excellent.
