The Locking Elliptical Kimberwick Bit combines a double-jointed elliptical mouthpiece with a locking mechanism, ensuring consistent pressure distribution and reducing the nutcracker effect associated with traditional jointed bits. The Kimberwick design offers mild curb action, providing riders with enhanced control and versatility of rein placement.
Key Features of the Locking Elliptical Mouthpiece:
- Limited Movement: The locking mechanism restricts the degree to which the bit can collapse, preventing it from forming a sharp angle that could cause discomfort. This provides a more stable and predictable communication with the horse’s mouth.
- Even Pressure Distribution: By limiting excessive movement, locking bits distribute pressure more evenly across the tongue and bars. This reduces the likelihood of pinching or causing discomfort.
- Enhanced Communication: The consistent action of a locking bit allows for clearer signals from the rider. This facilitates communication encouraging a more responsive horse.
Kimberwick Design Features:
- Leverage Options: The Kimberwick cheekpieces include multiple rein slot options, allowing the rider to choose different levels of leverage depending on rein placement. This versatility lets riders customize the bit's effect, making it adaptable for a range of horses.
- Stabilized Positioning: The fixed cheekpieces hold the bit in a steady position within the horse’s mouth, helping maintain consistent pressure and reducing the chance of the bit moving laterally.
- Gentle Curb Action: When rein pressure is applied, the Kimberwick provides a mild curb action, which can encourage the horse to stay collected and responsive.
