Horse Bit for Dressage and Pleasure Riding, Curved Loose-Ring Mouthpiece in 12 or 16 mm Sizes

When your horse feels heavy on the forehand or evades the tongue, this dressage-legal loose-ring horse bit gives you a thoughtfully shaped mouthpiece for clearer rein communication. The Verbindend design suits schooling, competition and everyday pleasure riding.

Its short-link lozenge, curved profile and warm Salox Gold material are shaped around comfortable contact. Choose the available mouthpiece thickness, ring diameter and bit size to match your horse’s bridle setup and mouth measurements.

Key Features

• The short-link lozenge is angled at 20° to the bore axes of the cheeks, following the Verbindend design and supporting more precise rein signals.
• A curved mouthpiece follows the horse’s mouth and supports the development of bend for lateral work and smaller circles.
• The distance between the cannon ends is short, matching the palatine arch anatomy described for horses and giving the mouthpiece a compact profile.
• Salox Gold is warm, soft and neutral in taste, offering a gentle-feeling material at the point of contact.
• The design is described as helping eradicate tongue evasions and encouraging the horse to soften and relax through the jaw.
• Clearer, emphasised rein signals can support self-carriage, thoroughness, a true outline and freedom through the shoulder as training develops.
