  • Mullen Mouthed Bits
    Bits Although there are hundreds of design variations, the basic families of bits are defined by the way in which they use or do not use leverage. They include: • Direct pressure bits without leverage: Snaffle bit: Uses a bit ring at the mouthpiece to apply direct pressure on the bars, tongue and corner of the mouth. • Leverage bits: Curb bit: A bit that uses a type of lever called a shank that puts pressure not only on the mouth, but also on the poll and chin groove. Pelham bit: A single curb bit with two sets of reins attached to rings at the mouthpiece and end of the shank. Partly combines snaffle and curb pressure. Kimblewick or Kimberwicke: A hybrid design that uses a slight amount of mild curb leverage on a bit ring by use of set rein placement on the ring. • Bit combinations A type of bridle that carries two bits, a bradoon and a curb, and is ridden with two sets of reins is called a Weymouth or double bridle, after the customary use of the Weymouth-style curb bit in a double bridle. • Non-curb leverage designs: Gag bit:A bit that, depending on design, may outwardly resemble a snaffle or a curb, but with added slots or rings that provide leverage by sliding the bit up in the horse's mouth, a very severe design. Bits are further described by the style of mouthpiece that goes inside the horse's mouth as well as by the type of bit ring or bit shank that is outside the mouth, to which the reins are attached.

  • Why Do We Have Different Type of Rings? Some Rounded and Small, Some Rounded and Big, Some Ovals, Some Like a D, Some Like a Narrower D and So On
    A B t of clarification about Rings By Manuel Trigo What are the differences between the bit’s rings. Why some rings have hooks. But more importantly, are you using the right ring for your snaffle? The Last article about bits “The snaffle misunderstood” had some impact on many riders. Many people did also criticize it, positively or not. It has been shared and posted to the 4 corners of the internet. What is very positive, after reading some of the reader’s comments, is the fact that people care about their horses and if necessary, are ready to start THE LAST ARTICLE learning more in order to improve their riding and communication with their horses. I also realized based on the comments on several social If you need to read the first groups, that there is still something that is not clear at all for many readers article, use this link. and that it is how the rings of the snaffle work (loose ring, loose ring with http://trigomanuel.com/do sleeve, D ring, kimberwhick etc..) I see too often people who did cuments/Snaffle%20Article understand how the mouthpiece(s) work(s), but still ride their horses in %20July.pdf the wrong ring according what they try to accomplish with the horse. So allow me a few words to explain and clarify this matter. I will start by saying one more time that the mouthpiece is for the horse and the rings or shank are for the rider. This could sound very basic, but just respecting this postulate will avoid many problems.
