Description
The D-ring cheekpiece consists of two rings that are shaped like a D. As the rings cannot move back and forth, this cheekpiece offers more stability but also lets the rein aids come through more directly. The D-shape gives more side pressure (against the cheek), making steering easier.
The leather is stitched manually around the reinforced nylon core and is
tanned without chemicals. Also, the round construction is unique. Saliva makes the leather mouthpiece soften, after which it forms to the horse’s mouth. The flexible effect in combination with the taste of the leather makes the bit extremely suitable for horses with sensitive mouths. In addition, Trust recommends this bit for mares, stating that mares
“especially like the taste of the leather and therefore
accept the bit well.”
Note: Make sure that the stitching always faces the outside of the mouth, when the bit is used. Unlike metal mouthpieces, leather mouthpieces are softer. This is what most horses like about these mouthpieces. When the mouthpiece is properly placed on the layers, damage to the mouthpiece is quite unlikely, but not impossible due to sharp edges on the teeth for example.
Please Note: Bits are not returnable.
