G2 bit straight and leather strap - Alain Ventre

The Alain Ventre G2 flexible straight resin bit is designed for horses with sensitive mouths that may find it difficult to accept the contact or stretch into a metal mouthpiece.

Its 17 mm flexible straight mouthpiece distributes pressure evenly over the tongue and bars. Its flexibility helps soften the rider's aids and provides a gentler contact without a central joint.

The flexible resin remains at an ambient temperature and provides a more comfortable feel, particularly for horses that are sensitive to metal.

The G2 system combines Pessoa-style rings with a leather strap connected to a grackle noseband. As rein tension increases, part of the action is transferred to the front and back of the noseband, helping distribute pressure and reduce the amount of action concentrated on the mouth and poll. It can be used with two or four reins, or with bit converters.

At 17 mm thick, the mouthpiece maintains a moderate profile while providing the flexibility required to encourage a more consistent contact.

The flexible resin provides a softer contact and helps cushion the rider's aids, encouraging relaxation and bit acceptance. It remains at an ambient temperature, which can be particularly appreciated by horses sensitive to the feel of cold metal.

Warning: This material is vulnerable and is not guaranteed by the manufacturer against wear caused by biting. It is strongly advised not to use a bit that is excessively damaged, as it could injure the horse's bars, tongue or palate.
