The connecting rings to the middle piece roll softly over the tongue without exerting pressure.Scientific research:The development of the KK ULTRA bits is based on the results of a measurement of mouth cavities of horses initiated by SPRENGER- carried out by the University of Veterinary Medicine in Hanover. This investigation resulted in groundbreaking knowledge about the space conditions and the position of bits in the horse s mouth. In short- the sensitive horse mouth offers little space for a bit. This space has to be used by anatomical adjustments in such a way that a comfortable and effective rein aid is possible for the rider.Open catalog page

This design is based on research into horse mouth cavity dimensions carried out by the University of Veterinary Medicine in Hanover.

The 3-Ring configuration offers 4 different rein attachment options. Depending on where the reins are attached, varying degrees of lever action are available, making it extremely versatile for adjusting the intensity of the rider's aids.
