French mouth gag bit Pinchless leather

Expert opinion : The Metalab leather snaffle bit is an anatomically designed bit that offers a simple and comfortable contact. It allows a good relaxation of your horse's mouth thanks to its leather alloy and a smoother transmission of your aids. Unlike the double snaffle bit which acts on the tongue, the single snaffle bit acts on the palate. It is important to know that the palate of the horse is a sensitive area that should not be neglected. It can be recommended for horses that are relatively easy but sensitive in the mouth, not very sensitive in the palate or with a hollow palate. It is ideal for young horses that lack balance. The "pinchless" joint is a mechanism that prevents involuntary pinching of the tongue or corners of the mouth. It allows the bit to never constrain the movement of the tongue. It dissociates the rider's hand actions. It helps to provide confidence for the horse in the rider's hand. It improves the connection and relaxation of the horse. The special feature of the snaffle bit is that it uses special uprights that pass through two rings perpendicular to the rings of the bit. This feature allows it to be used with two or four reins or with rings. The snaffle reins will then have a traditional lifting effect, and the reins attached to the special uprights will often have a lowering effect. It helps to improve the horse's balance by bringing the tip of the horse's nose closer to the rider. Here the lifter is combined with an olive bit, i.e. it has oval-shaped rings. They only rotate along one axis of rotation, which avoids any pinching of the corners of the mouth.
