Handcrafted curb bit, made of brass and German silver.
This is the curb bit used with a double bridle, working together with the bridoon. Its shanks and curb chain provide leverage that refines the horse’s head carriage—intended for a horse that is already balanced and a rider with light hands. The straight mouthpiece acts flat against the tongue and bars, with no joint. This is the classic curb bit design. The entire KavalBit range is shaped and finished by hand, using an alloy of 70% brass and 30% German silver. Brass has a taste that horses readily accept and encourages salivation; the shanks are made of stainless steel, with no free nickel, making them safe for sensitive horses. Corrosion resistance is excellent.

🐎 Why choose this product?
Brass and German silver have a taste that horses readily accept and that helps maintain salivation. Combined with stainless-steel shanks containing no free nickel and hand finishing, this makes a bit suitable even for horses sensitive to metals.
🧴 Care instructions
Rinse the bit with clean water after each use and dry it: that is all it requires. Avoid the dishwasher and abrasive products, which can dull the metal. Regularly check the wear on the joints and rings, and replace the bit as soon as any play appears.
