WESTERN DEE WITH HOOKS (MB04)

THE LOW PORT WESTERN D WITH HOOKS HAS A CURVED MOUTHPIECE WITH A LOW PORTED CENTRE BARREL. THE LOW PORT PUTS PRESSURE ON THE TONGUE AND THE CORNERS OF THE BARS. WILL NOT PINCH BARS OR TONGUE, AND HAS NO PALATE PRESSURE. IT OFFERS SOME TONGUE RELIEF BEFORE RESTRICTING THE TONGUE AND EACH SIDE OF THE MOUTHPIECE MOVES INDEPENDENTLY. HOOKS OFFER EFFECTIVE LEVERAGE ACTION TO RING BITS. A RING BIT TRADITIONALLY APPLIES ONLY DIRECT PRESSURE TO THE MOUTH- WHEN PRESSURE IS EXERTED ON THE REINS, THE SAME AMOUNT OF PRESSURE IS EXERTED ON THE MOUTH. WITH HOOKS THE REINS AND BRIDLE HAVE A FIXED ATTACHMENT TO THE RING, AND ALLOW THE BIT TO WORK MORE LIKE A LEVERAGE BIT. THIS BIT IS NOT APPROVED FOR USE IN DRESSAGE UNDER FEI RULES AND REGULATION.
