This bit is constructed on our weighted 5/16” Oring with the mouthpiece being hinged on our beloved stainless steel no pinch Ball Bearing. It offers a locked mouthpiece for instant contact and response with moderate lift coming from the lower rein ring, along with balance and added control from the stainless steel curb chain. This bit is ideal for a youngster ready for a step up or a seasoned horse needing slight assistance. It provides clear cut signals and can also be used as a regular locked oring when the reins are attached to the oring.
