CheekpieceAs with the Pelham, the action of the Kimblewick is dependent upon the position of the riders hands. The rein slides on the Dee shaped bit ring.If the hands are lowered prior to pressure being applied to the reins, the rein will slide about an inch and the bit will assume roughly a 45° angle in the mouth. Causing the mouthpiece to act in a downward and backward motion on the lower jaw, this is complemented by a downward pressure on the poll, giving the bit a lowering action.MouthpieceThe Lock Up snaffle removes the nut cracker action of the conventional snaffle, meaning it will bear less pressure on the horse’s bars. The Lock Up is therefore a softer option, than a conventional snaffle, although it still applies tongue and bar pressure when the reins are taken up.MaterialTitanium:Antibacterial & Biocompatible Superior strength and extremely lightweight in the mouth Increases saliva, warm to the touch and encourages acceptance Non-toxic and hypoallergenic Low maintenance, easy to cleanIt is supplied with nylon backstrap.
