A suitable bit will remove or limit your horse&#8217;s defenses, enhance comfort and improve communication.<\/p>\n<p>2\ufe0f\u20e3 Secondly, the choice of rings allows you to refine your action search.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Note that there is a large number of barrels. Mors&amp;More highlights the choice between double or single break.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The double jointed bits distribute the pressure of the reins over a larger area. The action is evenly distributed over the tongue, bars and corners. The double jointed bit limits the &#8220;nutcracker&#8221; effect on the tongue and palate thanks to the central olive. It has good freedom of movement in the horse&#8217;s mouth.<\/p>\n<p>\u2b50\ufe0f This is a versatile bit that can be used for both young and old horses. They are recommended for horses with a sensitive palate or flat palate.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The single jointed bits transmit the rider&#8217;s aids to the edges of the tongue, the commissures and the bars. By giving a hand action, the bit forms a V shape and exerts a specific pressure. It releases the middle and lower part of the tongue. This shape can be described as a &#8220;nutcracker&#8221; action.<\/p>\n<p>\u2b50\ufe0f Like the double jointed, this is a versatile bit that can be used for both young and old horses as well as for all disciplines. Single jointed bits are not recommended for horses with a flat palate. They are best used on horses with a sunken palate that are not sensitive to bars.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>These two types of bits are the most common in the equestrian world. They are used for all types of disciplines: show jumping, dressage, racing, western, cross-country, endurance, driving etc&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Nowadays we see more anatomical bits, either single or double jointed.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In conclusion : No one is better than the other one, but your choice must be directed towards the morphological needs of your horse. \ud83d\ude01<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A carefully chosen bit is the key to optimal, smooth and fluid communication with the horse \ud83d\udd11 \u00a0\u00a0 The choice [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":1346,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1345","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-articles"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Simple or double jointed ?
