Harmony 1 Tandem

: The tandem bit is soft and therefore interesting for horses with delicate mouths. The Poponcini rubber bits are flexible, the aim being to distribute as much pressure as possible on the horse's tongue and bars in order to offer optimum comfort and contact between rider and horse. It has the particularity of having a "square" barrel with rounded corners in order to enlarge the area in contact with the tongue and the palate. Poponcini bits have mini washers moulded into the bit for comfort. The straight bit allows a symmetrical contact of the mouth so that the horse wants to come a little against the bit. This is why some riders use them from the beginning. Poponcini bits have a brass ring reinforcement to allow the rings to turn easily. They also have mini washers moulded into the bit for extra comfort. The Tandem bit is used with only one rein. It works by pressing on the muzzle, the lower jaw branches and the neck: by increasing the pull of the reins, a slight lifting effect of the bit is also achieved. This bit is particularly suitable for horses which are too sensitive to the effect of a bit in the mouth but which cannot be ridden with a hackamore either.
