when it matters

Is your horse commonly described to have a “dead mouth” or do they become especially exuberant & hard to control in certain settings? The bits of the MAX-Control series offer a very special solution. This is a double broken bit. However, if a certain angle is reached - for example, because the horse pulls against the rein and lifts out - it locks and becomes a mullen mouth. This allows you to act more strongly at that moment. But if you ride with a loose connection and gentle action, the mouthpiece is comparable to a normal double jointed bit. Clever, isn't it?

the best possible control

when you need it

What exactly is a leverage effect - and how does it occur in the horse's mouth? If you choose a bit with a lever action, the pressure created by the rein action is distributed over several points of action on the horse's head - for example, on the neck. If, for example, you need the greatest possible control on the course, this effect can be useful in order to keep in communication with your horse even if he wants to ignore your aids. It is very important to note that these types of bits are only designed to be used with educated hands and specific riding situations.

Leverage

An educated & experienced hand is necessary here! Because leverage bits allow the rider to apply pressure to the horse's sensitive neck, we recommend these models only for experienced riders. You should have a balanced seat and independent hand, If your horse tends to have a rather low head posture or resists the aids downward, bits with lever action are rather counterproductive. They are more suitable for horses that evade the rider's aids by strongly lifting upwards.

Light neck pressure for concise communication

Multi-, 3-ring and gag bit: all these models have one thing in common: the pressure created by the pull of the reins is first distributed via the tongue to the lower jaw and finally to the neck. In this way, they promise better control, for example, while you are mastering a course with your horse. This is because, when your horse withdraws with his head up, the action on the nape of the neck allows you to regain communication with your horse.

double rein

double precision

With 3-ring bits, the pressure that acts on the horse's neck can be controlled through the use of a chin strap and/or multiple reins. Why? Because the leverage is greater due to the length of the side piece. That's why you can ideally use the 3-ring bit with two pairs of reins. This way you only influence the tongue and lower jaw with the main rein in the big ring. The second pair of reins, strapped in the lower ring, can exert pressure on the neck via the cheek piece as needed. However, the important prerequisite for this is a sensitive rider's hand. Therefore we do not recommend this bit if you are inexperienced or unbalanced.

Unwanted dives?

Ein Kinnriemen kann helfen!

You want to protect yourself additionally? No problem! An additional chin strap can help to limit the leverage of your 3-ring bit. The strap is simply buckled in the upper ring along the lower jaw. It has two purposes: First, it limits the neck pressure, and second, it acts on the lower jaw. In this way, it can counteract a "dipping" of your horse downwards and prevent him from evading your aids by keeping his head too low.

Your choice

for temperamental horses

The 3-ring bit is probably one of the most versatile models because of different options of the rein placement Because the mouthpiece can slide freely in the ring - just as it does with a lose ring snaffle the rider can control the pressure on the neck independently of the pressure on the tongue. This feature has proven to be an advantage, especially with very temperamental horses that are sensitive to the constriction of the tongue. Whenever you have to act more strongly with your hand, does your horse shake his head or go against the reins all the more? Then this bit could be what you are looking for.
