🐎 Why choose this product?
A thick mouthpiece distributes pressure over a larger surface area and is therefore felt less: this moderates the leverage effect of the three-ring setup. ⚠️ The supplier recommends this bit for horses that are hard-mouthed. Leverage multiplies the pressure exerted by the rider's hand: this is not a training bit, and changing bits can never replace fundamental training.
🧴 Usage advice
Choose the rein position when attaching it: the middle ring for a moderate effect, or the lower ring for a stronger effect. Always start with the gentlest position. ⚠️ A leverage bit requires a measured hand and is preferably used with connectors, which are mandatory in competition with a Pessoa. Measure the width from one ring to the other, with the mouthpiece stretched out. ⚠️ A bit that is too narrow pinches the corners of the mouth; one that is too wide moves around in the mouth and knocks against the teeth. Allow approximately half a centimetre of visible mouthpiece on each side.
