Also known as a bit continental, it works by lifting the bit into the horse's mouth in the same manner as a traditional gag, but without the same severity. Reins can be attached to either the snaffle ring or the lower ring to increase pressure and leverage. You can also use two reins or rounds attached to one rein with this bit to maintain proper contact on the snaffle ring without pressure on the neck when needed.An anatomical brass alloy pad in the center helps distribute even pressure on the tongue and mouth bars and also encourages mouthing and contact. The blue soft iron mouthpiece oxidizes easily, which creates a warm feeling and sweet taste in the horse's mouth, helping him accept the bit. Please note that the blue color fades with use, which is normal. An ideal bit for those who need a little extra braking power when jumping or doing work rapide.MeasurementsAccording to our size guide, the A and B measurements for this bit are as follows:4.5" & 5" - A=15mm & B=125mm5.5"...
