Fixed rings so that the bit is held at the correct height in the mouth very steadily giving increased consistency in contact and stability across the tongue. Top ring also ensures the bit doesn't run through the mouth thereby helping with turning the horse similar to the FM bit. Exerts no poll pressure and as such are classified by FEI as a snaffle bit.
Top rings curve out slightly to reduce pressure on the sides of the horses face.
All sizes: fixed ring 20mm (inside); side ring 50x67mm overall.
FEATURES:
- The HP Relief Lozenge is anatomically designed for both comfort and communication and it helps to develop a true contact and higher level of responsiveness.
- The Lozenge centre eliminates the harsh nutcracker action;
- Ergonomically designed curve for improved fit and comfort to the horse;
- Smaller diameter metal to ensure maximum comfort to the horses tongue and palette, and enable the horse to seal its mouth and swallow;
- The HP Lozenge is ideal horses with thick tongues and low palates that simply don’t have room in their mouths for any bit wider than 12mm. Unfortunately, nearly all bits start at 14mm diameter and are too thick for them;
- Promote a softer more consistent contact, encouraging the horse to soften through the jaw relaxing and lengthening the neck.
Available in sizes 4" to 7".
