This "buffer" is essential because the bit should protrude slightly from the horse's lips to allow the curved mouthpiece to sit correctly over the tongue and prevent the cheekpieces from pinching.Q: Is this bit legal for use in the show ring?A: While this bit is a premier choice for schooling and training across English and Western disciplines, the inclusion of hooks and the Independent Side Movement generally make it illegal for USEF, USDF, and FEI Dressage competitions. It is highly recommended for Hunter/Jumper schooling, Eventing training, and Western Pleasure riders seeking refined communication.Q: What is the benefit of the "hooks" compared to a standard eggbutt?A: The hooks offer enhanced stability and versatility. When reins are attached to the hooks, you gain the ability to use Independent Side Movement for better shoulder control and can apply mild poll pressure to help a horse that is heavy on the forehand, whereas a standard eggbutt offers only direct action.Item Number/SKU: 89-30367
