The Swivel Port Hinge Loose Ring Bit is designed for horses that struggle to find comfort with a traditional bit. Unlike fixed-port designs, this bit features a 360-degree rotating port, allowing the horse to adjust the mouthpiece to its preferred position. The swivel function reduces tongue pressure while allowing natural movement in the jaw. The loose ring cheekpieces promote a softer feel by allowing the bit to move freely, preventing the horse from leaning or becoming rigid in the contact.
Key Features of the Swivel Port:- 360-Degree Rotation : The port moves freely, allowing the horse to position the mouthpiece comfortably, reducing tongue pressure.
- Encourages Relaxation : The rotating action prevents fixed pressure points, promoting a softer feel in the mouth.
- Prevents Rigidity : Allows for more natural jaw movement rather than feeling restricted by a static mouthpiece.
Key Features of the Hinge:- Refined Pressure Distribution : The hinge helps balance pressure across the tongue and bars, preventing excessive force on a single area while maintaining effective communication.
- Adaptive Palate Engagement : Designed to accommodate horses with varying mouth shapes, the hinge reduces direct palate pressure, allowing for a more comfortable fit without restricting movement.
- Independent Side Movement : Each side of the bit can move independently, providing clearer rein aids and minimizing resistance by allowing the horse to adjust naturally within the 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.
