This ported bar has an especially flattened port design. This gives the tongue optimum room. Many horses respond to this with more relaxation and increased chewing. This bit is also well suited to horses that play with their tongues, trying to put their tongue over the bit, as the port prevents this effectively. Therefore, this bit is eminently suited to horses that don’t like conventionally shaped bits due to the pressure on the tongue and respond with head-shaking and the like. The shaped transition from the mouthpiece to the bit rings makes pinching of the lips impossible and also provides the bit with a particularly stable lateral hold. The shape of the bit is well suited to working with young horses.
