The large D-Ring bit is characterized by its fixed ring. The sides are designed to lie about one centimeter closer to the corner of the horse's mouth compared to a water bit. The D-Ring prevents pinching of the mouth corners in the rings and offers stronger lateral guidance compared to an olive bit. The horse cannot push the bit upwards with its tongue, so the mouthpiece sits more steadily in the mouth and is slightly more stabilized laterally. Since the ring does not rotate, there is a minimal effect on the poll, although the large D-Ring also slightly reduces this effect.
The double-jointed mouthpiece distributes pressure evenly over the tongue and bars, with the Soft Roll made of Sweet Copper in the central piece stimulating mouthing activity. The small D-Ring provides light lateral stabilization and guidance, creating calmness and stability in the horse’s mouth. The Stainless Steel mouthpiece is completely odorless and tasteless, making it suitable for sensitive horses.
