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?

Quick signals - practical in the course

Do you need direct action on the tongue and additional control over the horse's neck? A pelham offers all this. Here, the mouthpiece is fixed to the side element, which means that the rein action is transferred directly to the tongue. To ensure that the pelham lies as still as possible in the horse's mouth and does not slip, you should pay close attention to the fact that the side parts are close to the angle of the mouth.

Long or short shanks?

In our product range, we generally distinguish between long shanks, each seven centimeters long, and short shanks, each measuring five centimeters. While short shanks put less pressure on the neck and lower jaw, your reins reach the horse faster and more directly. Longer suits can create more pressure on the neck, but because of the longer lever, the effect is not as direct and pronounced.

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.
