The T-bar
will have the same effect as the traditional Fulmer (Full Cheek) in
that it will prevent pinching on the sides of the mouth however the
shortened and extended pins above and below the bit prevent the bit
firstly being pulled through the mouth and secondly has the effect of
guiding the the horses head into the direction the bit is facing which
is great for schooling and training purposes.
The T-Bar has a
Loose Ring fitting which allows for immediate release whilst the
shortened pin extensions prevent it from being hooked up.
A Ring cheekpiece introduces poll pressure as well creating leverage on the mouthpiece.
The Control Plate is set at 45° to follow the contour of the horses tongue. Consequently, a horse who uses his tongue as a means of pushing against the bit and therefore taking control, will draw back and tuck his chin in, coming back to a better point of control.
All our bits are made from blue sweet iron, because it:
oxidizes easily
encourages salivation
helps bit acceptance
is warm and sweet
Please note the blue will fade with use.
