Stubben 2250 D-Ring Stainless Steel Double Broken Bit - 5" / 16mm

The large D-Ring bit is characterised by its firm ring. Compared to a water bit, the sides of the D-Ring bit are designed to lie about one centimetre closer to the corner of the horse's mouth. The D-Ring prevents pinching of the mouth corners in the rings and provides stronger lateral guidance compared to an olive bit. The horse cannot push the bit upwards with its tongue, so the mouthpiece sits more steadily in the mouth and is slightly more stabilised laterally. Since the ring does not rotate, there is a minimal effect on the poll, though the large D-Ring slightly softens this effect. The double-jointed mouthpiece distributes pressure evenly across the tongue and bars. The D-Ring provides lateral stabilisation and guidance, creating calmness and stability in the horse's mouth.  Advantages at a Glance Fitting Options and Pressure Distribution Even pressure on the tongue and bars, light effect on the poll Lateral stabilisation and guidance Mouthpiece Made of stainless steel Stainless steel is robust, odourless, and tasteless Which horses are particularly suited for this bit?
