Twin Bit - 4 Ring Bit - Scourier Bit. A twin-bit is also known as a double-ring bit or scourier bit. It is a bit with 4-bit rings, where the loose rings are attached to the cheekpiece and the reins are attached to the fixed rings. The loose bit rings are attached to the cheekpiece, and the fixed rings are for the reins. A twin bit sits loosely in the horse's mouth, independent of the bridle, which prevents the horse from grasping the bit too quickly.
The two inner rings exert more pressure on the horse's cheeks when the pressure on the reins increases. This can clarify the rider's aid. However, this is a stronger action than a basic bit, which is why this bit is not suitable for a beginner or inexperienced rider.
A twin bit is often used in the sport by professionals. It is an accessory that must be used with care. A twin bit has a leverage effect, making it suitable only for horses that are strong in the hand. The horse must have a stable foundation before being ridden with a twin bit. At HorseOnline, you can test the bit before buying it. A twin bit is FEI-approved, but can only be used for show jumping in competitions.
