Nils Barrel Eggbutt Fixed rings used - Fager

BIT CATEGORY B : Good condition

The NILS Olives Barrel bit is a double snaffle bit with a central cylinder. The central cylinder offers increased stability of the bit in the horses mouth. It allows for a more symmetrical "left/right" contact which helps the horse to come into tension. The locking action eliminates the risk of tongue pinching, making it more efficient and direct on the rider's demands. This model is ideal for horses that are easily injured. The olive bit allows both the protection of the commissures from any risk of pinching thanks to the fixed ring. It offers a direct contact between the rider's hand and the horse's mouth. It is interesting to help the horse to make contact. It offers two different uses:

• The upward tongue passage frees up space for the tongue and divides the pressure between the tongue, bars and commissures.
• The downward tongue passage limits the pressure on the bars by exerting a more direct action on the tongue. Nevertheless, thanks to the central barrel the contact remains relatively comfortable for the tongue.
