The lovely curvature of the mouthpiece fits over the horse’s tongue and bars comfortably.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eOur bit features a rectangular-shaped mouthpiece with rounded edges, designed for comfort and precision. The weighted mouthpiece minimises pressure on the cheeks while aiding in clear communication with your horse. The design also reduces the risk of cuts and chafing, and prevents the mouth from drying out by maintaining better lip contact.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eThe simplicity of the single joint provides direct and clear signals to the horse, which can be beneficial for straight forward communication between rider and horse. The single joint primarily distributes the pressure primarily to the sides of the tongue and bars, making it suitable for horses that respond well to a more pronounced pressure.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eThe weight of the mouthpiece is designed for an instant release and reward movement allowing the rider to take pressure off instantly as the bit falls from the pressure zone.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ainsley Bits","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44222820810931,"sku":"GBLUHSC","price":137.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/7442\/8851\/files\/Image_14-07-2026_at_09.15.jpg?v=1784016975","url":"https:\/\/emitapolo.com\/products\/brass-balding-gag-with-copper-rings","provider":"Emita Polo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
