2490 Mors de bride Fine Line

In a dressage curb bit setup, the horse has two bits in the mouth: the curb bit and the bradoon. It is also always used with a curb chain.

The curb bit acts in three ways: Firstly, like any bit, it applies pressure to the mouth towards the rider's hand. Additionally, pressure is exerted on the chin and lower jaw between the bit and the chain. The leverage of the branches also strongly affects the poll.

Key factors for its effectiveness are the tongue clearance and the length of the branches. The Fine Line curb bit’s tongue clearance prevents the bit from pressing against the palate.

The mouthpiece of this curb bit follows the natural shape of the horse's mouth, lying flat on the tongue and bars. When the rider takes up the reins, the pressure is distributed evenly across the tongue and bars. As always with a curb bit, the rider’s hand is crucial. A curb bit can achieve a lot with a light aid, but both horse and rider must be able to handle it properly.

Advantages at a Glance:

Effectiveness:

• Leverage effect on chin and poll
• Even pressure distribution over bars and tongue

Size:

• The curb bit should sit laterally at the corner of the mouth, with the bradoon chosen approximately 1 cm larger.

SWEET Copper Mouthpiece:

• Better acceptance: The sweet-tasting copper is particularly well accepted by horses and promotes salivation.
• 90% copper, 7% iron, and aluminum; nickel-free and exceptionally durable

Stainless Steel Mouthpiece:

• Made of stainless steel
• Stainless steel is durable, tasteless, and odorless

Suitable For:

• The use of a curb bit should refine the communication between rider and horse. This is only possible if the communication with the bradoon already achieves a high level of sensitivity.
• From a secure L-level

Note on Proper Use:

Every bit can cause pain if used roughly or improperly, especially bits with leverage. An incorrect size can also be painful for the horse.
