chews on the mouthpiece. Turtle TopTM with FlexTM keeps the mouthpiece
centred and arched over the tongue at all times, safely helping to prevent
sideways tongue evasions. This comfortable mouthpiece re-focuses the
inattentive mouth back onto the rein aids in order to achieve a soft consistent
contact.

and rounding over the bit in order to achieve a true and correct outline.

This bit is a combination of a loose ring snaffle with a gag that exerts pressure on the poll. The bit has holes in the top and bottom of the cheeks through which the reins pass vertically.

Loose ring snaffles are a gentle bit that can be used across all disciplines. The rings move relatively freely, encouraging a relaxed and mobile mouth and jaw.

As this bit can be fairly severe if used incorrectly, the rider must be sympathetic with their hands and ensure they are soft and forgiving to avoid too much pressure on the poll.

Different cheekpieces are required on bridles using this type of bit.

KK Ultra bits take advantage of the exceptional sensitivity of the tongue in order to provide effective but gentle communication between horse and rider. Sprenger undertook years of research to determine how to design the optimum bit and the KK Ultra was born as a result of this.

The tongue is so extremely sensitive that it multiplies perceptions in this area dramatically. The Double jointed KK ULTRAs have a middle link, known as the bean, that is shortened and angled forward by 45 degrees. When the reins are pulled the middle part of the KK ULTRA fully rests on the tongue without squeezing and the connection rings roll on the tongue. The tongue's sense of touch is utilised and clear instructions can be given.

KK Ultra Loose Ring Snaffles are made from SENSOGAN® which is a new scientifically proven bit material developed by Sprenger. Sensogan is the result of on-going development and improvement of Sprenger's original bit material Aurigan®. This material has been tested and is proven to have a very positive effect on the horse's acceptance of the bi and motivation and willingness to perform.

The materials and design of KK ULTRA Bits have the horse's well being in mind, thus leading to a more comfortable, happy horse that is more accepting to the aids and rider's contact.

This type of bit is similar to a snaffle that exerts pressure on the poll, which can aid control of strong horses and encourage them to lower their head. The cheek pieces are attached to the ring at the top. The reins can be attached to either the large ring, for the least amount of poll pressure, or the smaller ring underneath, which increases the poll pressure.

The NS Verbindend has consistently eradicated tongue evasions by creating a channel for the tongue to lie in allowing the horse to soften and relax through the jaw.

This mouthpiece clarifies and emphasises the signals through the rein. Promoting self carriage and throughness, a true outline and freedom through the shoulder can be developed. It can enhance the development of the bend for lateral work and smaller circles.

By encouraging clarity of the aids, and promoting a true outline the freedom through the shoulder can be developed, thus promoting self carriage and throughness.

If you are a pleasure rider and simply want to establish a lighter, softer way of going this is the bit for you. If you wish simply to lift the forehand then this bit is a logical choice. No dressage legal snaffle is ever severe – it simply offers fine tuning for the experienced rider who can ‘play’ it!

The ergonomically designed Neue Schule Tranz Universal offers control without discomfort or severity.

Offering control without discomfort.  It is brilliant for faster work such as jumping as you can turn much more easily. The Universal also helps to eliminate the head toss when asking for a downward transition, or shortening in between fences. If you need to upgrade from a snaffle, this bit can be very useful as it offers varying degrees of control. Also an excellent training tool prior to introducing a double bridle as you can use two reins and a curb strap on it.

Pelhams have both a snaffle and a curb action - similar to double bridles but without the complexity of two bits and two sets of reins. When used with roundings, which is the most common way to use a pelham, the bit offers a snaffle feel in the mouth but with added poll pressure which encourages the horse to lower it's head, and a curb, which applies pressure in the mouth and behind the chin - squeezing the jaw to control the horse. 

Different horses react differently to this pressure so when first trying a pelham, it would be advisable to do so after a discussion with an instructor, and we would recommend a reasonably loose curb.

This type of bit is effectively a snaffle that exerts mild pressure on the poll, which can aid control of strong horses and encourage them to lower their head. The cheek pieces are attached to the ring at the top and the rein on the large ring. 

The eggbutt mouthpiece is a snaffle bit which on some horses can be more comfortable than a loose ring snaffle as the rings cannot move and pinch the corners of the mouth. The cheek is fixed in relation to the mouthpiece, providing an element of lateral control - assisting in turning.

As the cheeks are fixed in relation to the mouthpiece, mobility is reduced which can be advantageous in horses than have very active mouths, although can reduce sensitivity.
