MAX-Control D-Ring 16 mm with locking mechanism - Stainless steel

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 agony of choice: Which bit is the right choice? Eggbutt, D-shaped or Full Cheek bit? The larger the contact area, the more lateral support your bit will provide. For example, if you need extensive lateral support, you will likely want to use a full-cheek snaffle due to the large area of contact.

In order for Eggbutt, D-ring and full cheek bits to develop their lateral effect optimally, the side piece should lie close to the corner of the mouth. This also allows the bit to lie quietly in the horse's mouth. Due to their special fit, these bits should therefore always be selected one size smaller than classic loose ring water snaffles.
