When used correctly- the horse s confidence in the rider s hand is enhanced- which is why these bits are used successfully worldwide in all disciplines and across all training levels a true all-round talent!Compared to conventional bits- the middle link has also been shortened. This anatomical adaptation noticeably optimises the effect compared to conventional double jointed bits.When the reins are taken up- the middle link also known as the lozenge because of its striking shape gently rolls over the central part of the horse s tongue- stimulating its sense of touch. 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.

How does the middle link interact with the horse's tongue?
