Loose Ring Elliptical Curved

Stainless steel loose ring elliptical curved bit designed for horses that tend to lean on the bit. The freely rotating rings give the rider more play as they shift with changes in rein pressure, encouraging a lighter contact.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction for durability and easy care
• Reduced nutcracker action for gentler bar pressure
• Oval elliptical link distributes pressure more evenly across the bars
• Curved mouthpiece creates extra tongue room for improved comfort
• Freely rotating loose rings for independent side control
• Available in 125mm, 135mm, and 145mm sizes

How It Works

The oval elliptical link is a variant of the French link, using a rounded lozenge instead of a flat spatula to join the two halves of the mouthpiece. This provides reduced nutcracker action, more even pressure over the bars, and independent control over each side of the mouth. The curved design adds tongue relief, making this bit comfortable for most horses.

Best Suited For

Ideal for horses that hang on the bit or need encouragement to carry themselves more lightly. The mobility in the mouthpiece discourages leaning and promotes a softer, more responsive contact. A versatile choice for flatwork, jumping, and everyday schooling.
