Beval Max control double jointed lock up - Sprenger

Our expert's opinion

The max control bit is an educational bit. The bit is a classic double bit in appearance. However, when the horse opposes the rider's hand, the bit locks (self-locking effect) at the breaks. It is therefore soft and hard at the same time. If the horse is listening to his rider, the bit will have the action of a classic pelham double break, whereas if he is against his rider, the bit becomes hard through its self-locking effect.The beval bit is a lowering bit where the reins can be hooked in a fixed way on the bottom ring or with rings on the main ring and the bottom ring. This bit has a weak action because its small rings are inside the main ring, so it has little leverage. Combination of 3 bits in one: lateral framing, leverage and lifting effect. The beval bit is often used to test the horse's reaction to leverage.
