Bits
Verbindend Loose Ring Bradoon with 12mm Salox Gold mouth is legal for use dressage competition. Gently shaped with a lozenge center, the mouthpiece helps create a channel for the tongue, which encourages the horse to soften and relax through the jaw, and which normally helps stop tongue evasions. The Verbindend greatly emphasizes rein aids and may assist in establishing a lighter, softer way of going. Stainless steel rings are 55mm.
1) High thermal diffusivity (warm). The bit rapidly reaches and maintains mouth temperature so that the mouthpiece does not feel cold for long.
2) Just soft enough. The bit material is softer than tooth enamel to ensure that if a horse bites it, the force is safely, comfortably absorbed into the material rather than reflected onto the teeth. It’s also just soft enough to dampen acoustic waves that would otherwise ring into the horse’s jaw.
