The Blue Steel Verdun Ball Mouth Bit is a technical bit designed for riders seeking excellent lateral guidance combined with a stronger, more defined action. Its Verdun cheeks provide outstanding stability and make it an excellent alternative to a full cheek bit. The integrated upper slots secure the cheekpieces of the bridle, reducing movement and keeping the bit stable in the horse's mouth.
Its distinctive ball mouthpiece creates multiple contact points, producing a firmer, more precise action. This design is particularly suitable for horses that tend to lean heavily on the bit or require a more defined response to the rider's aids.
Made from Blue Steel, an alloy renowned for its relaxing properties, the mouthpiece naturally oxidises over time. This oxidation creates a mild sweet taste that encourages salivation, promotes relaxation and improves acceptance of the bit.
This mouthpiece is best suited to experienced riders looking for increased control while maintaining accurate communication.
