Contoured Gel Bit Guards - Acavallo

Featuring a concave (curved inward) shape on their inner surface (to the mouth) and a convex (curved outward) shape on their outer surface (to the bit ring), these bit guards eliminate the need of the formerly used projecting protectors. The advantages of this new design are quite obvious: Risks of rubbing or chafing on the outer skin of the mouth corners are mitigated, as these sensitive areas remain widely untouched. Furthermore, the free movability of the bit and the bit rings, as well as the natural chewing mechanism of the horse, are not inhibited in any way. Once attached to the bit, the special soft gel material keeps the bit guards in their correct position, avoiding rotation or other unwanted movements and enhancing a precise und undisturbed bit control by the rider. Suited for all equestrian disciplines.

: Ultra-soft flexible gel bit guards for the horse, which provides extra protection for the commissures and prevents chafing. The return at the bit barrel prevents pinching. Acavallo washers are easy to adjust thanks to a flexible gel, easily stretchable. Risks of rubbing or chafing on the outer skin of the mouth corners are mitigated, as these sensitive areas remain widely untouched. Furthermore, the free movability of the bit and the bit rings, as well as the natural chewing mechanism of the horse, are not inhibited in any way. Sold by pair.
