Metal AB Flexible Flexi 3-Ring Mullen

Product description

Flexible Flexi

• Metal Ab Flexible Flexi bits are turquoise in color and made of an elastic plastic with a flexible metal core in the bit.
• Flexible Flexi bits are slightly less flexible than the Soft Flexi bits.
• The flexibility makes this a friendly bit, suitable for sensitive horse mouths and less suitable for very strong horses.

2½ & 3 Ring Bit:

• A 2½ & 3 Ring Snaffle is also called a Pessoa bit and can be recognized by the extra rings on top and at the bottom of the regular bit rings.
• The top ring is used to attach the cheekpiece and the bottom ring the rein.
• When using the rein, the top ring will tilt forward and create leverage.
• The strength of the impact is determined by the type of mouthpiece, material and number of rings.
• A 2½ ring snaffle is therefore less effective than a 3 ring snaffle.

Straight mouthpiece features:

• A straight mouthpiece consists of 1 piece and gives pressure on the tongue, layers and lips.
• The shape and thickness of the mouthpiece determine where the pressure will be in the mouth.
• A straight mouthpiece with a tongue port gives more pressure on the layers and keeps the tongue free.
• The straighter and thicker the mouthpiece, the more pressure on the tongue.
