SmoothRide Elevator Bit (Demo Condition)

Please note that these bits are in excellent demo condition with minor signs of wear and no returns or exchanges apply.

SmoothRide bits are made of stainless steel bits that have been sanded down for horses comfort. 

This bit features a curved mouthpiece as well as cleverly designed lozenge with a copper roller which continues along the anatomical shape of the bit. The curvature in this bit creates a mild tongue relief if worn in the classic way.

The loose ring, eggbutt, elevator and gag bits of this line can be used “upside down” to provide mild bar relief and give you a hint whether your horse prefers more pressure to be directed towards the center or the side of the tongue above bars.

We find this to be a great starter bit and a less expensive alternative to other premium bits as it is versatile, generally well accepted and tends to take up less space in the horse’s mouth without being unnecessarily harsh than many other alternatives.

We find that horses that resist the flat links often seen in classic double jointed snaffles tend to like the smoothness of this bit.

The elevator or dutch gag is a loose ring cheekpiece that creates leverage and pressure on the poll. It’s a great option for horses more advanced in their training and/or requiring more control.

Can be used on a single or double rein with or without a connector.

Mouthpiece thickness: 15mm

Total Height: 145mm

Note: this bit is final sale, no returns or exchanges apply.
