Metal AB D-Bit Single Jointed "Pinchless" 12 mm

Product description

D-Snaffle Bit

• As the name implies, the side pieces of a D-snaffle have the shape of a D and therefore cannot be easily pulled through the mouth.
• Because of this D shape, more pressure is obtained on the horse's cheeks, which makes maneuverability easier.
• This makes the D-snaffle a nice bit for teaching young horses.
• Depending on the type, thickness and material, a D-bit gets a sharper or softer effect.

Single Jointed

• A single jointed bit has a hinge point in the middle that puts pressure on the lips, layers and sides of the tongue. A single jointed bit squeezes the tongue slightly under pressure and puts less pressure on the tongue.
• A single jointed bit rises slightly in the middle and can sting the palate. In this case is it better to choose a double-jointed or straight mouthpiece.
• A single jointed bit is a good basic bit, suitable for many horses and riders.

Pinchless mouthpiece

• The mouthpiece of a pinchless bit has an internal sleeve, which allows the bit to rotate in the middle.
  
• This allows each side of the bit to work independently without changing the position of the bit.
  
• With a Pinchless mouthpiece it is possible to work in on one side without disturbing the horse's mouth on the other side.
  
• A Pinchless bit does not press or pinch in the horse's mouth and is very comfortable.
  
• Horses are more likely to accept the bit.
