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.
A horse shaking its head when bit pressure is applied or its tongue trying to escape the bit are classic signs the horse has a sensitive tongue. With this in mind the McHardy was created, it has a medium port creating space for the tongue relieving pressure. The Buster Roller in the middle increases bar pressure and as a result lifting the horse's head and giving more 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.
