KK ULTRA bits are the pioneers of modern bits because they have been developed on the basis of scientific research. They achieve their unique, precise effect thanks to the special 45° angle of the centerpiece. When used correctly, this promotes the horse's trust in the rider's hand, which is why these bits are used successfully worldwide in all disciplines and across all levels of training - a true all-round talent!
Compared to existing bits, the centerpiece has also been shortened. This anatomical adaptation noticeably optimizes the effect compared to conventional double jointed bits.
When the reins are picked up, the middle section - also known as the "olive" because of its distinctive shape - rolls gently over the central part of the horse's tongue, stimulating its sense of touch. The connecting rings to the centerpiece roll softly over the tongue without exerting pressure.
Scientific research:
The development of the KK ULTRA bits is based on the results of a measurement of the mouth cavities of horses initiated by SPRENGER and carried out by the University of Veterinary Medicine in Hanover. This study revealed groundbreaking news about the space available and the position of bits in the horse's mouth.
In short: the sensitive horse's mouth offers very little space for a bit. This space must be utilized through anatomical adjustments in such a way that the horse is comfortable and the rider is able to give effective aids.
