The Twisted Copper Loose Ring with Dr. Bristol Link Bit combines a twisted copper mouthpiece for increased responsiveness with a Dr. Bristol link for even pressure distribution. The loose ring design allows for free movement, promoting relaxation and encouraging a soft, responsive connection.
Key Features of the Twisted Copper Mouthpiece:
- Enhanced Responsiveness: The twist in the mouthpiece creates additional contact points on the tongue and bars, encouraging quicker reactions to rein aids.
- Promotes Salivation: Copper encourages natural salivation, keeping the horse’s mouth soft and responsive.
- Designed for Skilled Riders: The sharper action of the twist is best suited for riders with educated hands.
Key Features of the Dr. Bristol Link:
- Even Pressure Distribution: The flat, angled link spreads pressure evenly across the tongue and bars, preventing pinching and discomfort.
- Improved Communication: The angled design provides a more refined feeling, helping horses respond promptly to riders’ guidance.
- Promotes Acceptance: The Dr. Bristol link encourages horses to accept the bit and maintain consistent contact.
Loose Ring Design Features:
- Increased Flexibility: The loose ring design allows the bit rings to move independently, minimizing pressure on the horse’s mouth and encouraging relaxation.
- Adaptive Control: The strength and effectiveness of the bit vary depending on factors such as material, thickness, and overall design.
- Pinch Prevention: For horses with sensitive mouth corners, rubber bit rings can be added to prevent pinching and increase comfort.
