Highlights

Superior Lateral Stability. The fixed Dee-ring cheek prevents the bit from being pulled through the mouth and applies gentle pressure to the face to assist with steering and turns.
Pinch-Free Design. Unlike loose rings, the fixed rings of this Shires bit ensure the corners of your horse's mouth won't get caught, providing a more comfortable experience for sensitive horses.
Clear Nutcracker Action. The single-jointed mouthpiece focuses pressure on the bars and tongue, facilitating clear, direct communication between your hands and the horse's mouth.
Show-Ring Ready Aesthetic. With its clean lines and polished finish, this bit is the gold standard for the Hunter and Equitation rings and is fully USEF/USHJA legal.
Low-Maintenance Durability. Made from high-grade stainless steel, this bit is rust-resistant and easy to wipe clean after a long day at the barn.
