This combines the effect of a tongue port with the positive characteristics of the butterfly bar. The profile of the KONNEX bar is slimmer, it positions itself very comfortably in the horse’s mouth, providing more room. In addition, the port is significantly broader in the KONNEX bar. Suitable for horses with little room in their mouth, e.g. thoroughbred types or older horses (due to change in dental alignment), horses with larger tongues and especially those not tolerating pressure points on the tongue.

To be used with one set of reins. The pressure is distributed evenly between the horse‘s nose, lower jaw and poll. More rein action puts some pressure on the angle of the mouth. Suitable for horses that are very sensitive in the mouth, but can’t be ridden with a Hackamore only.
