Product description

AJR Kimblewick With Low Port - Vulcanite

Vulcanite mouthpiece:

A vulcanite mouthpiece is made of vulcanized rubber, also called vulcanite, reinforced with a steel core. Vulcanite has the ability to maintain a constant temperature, which is especially important for horses with drier mouths. Unlike traditional rubber bits that can become hot, the Vulcanite mouthpiece avoids the risk of discomfort or possible burns in the horse's mouth.

Kimblewick - Kimberwick.

• A kimblewick is a hanging D with a curb chain that acts like a pelham with a milder effect and is used with one rein.
• This side piece has 2 slots for attaching a rein. The lower the rein, the greater the leverage and the sharper the bit.
• The kimblewick is used in combination with a curb strap or curb chain.
• The kimblewick gives the rider more control over the horse than a standard sidepiece.

Straight mouthpiece properties:

A straight mouthpiece often has a sharper effect than a single or double jointed mouthpiece. The shape of the mouthpiece determines where the pressure is placed in the mouth. A straight mouthpiece with tongue arch/port gives more pressure on the layers and keeps the tongue free. The straighter and thicker the mouthpiece, the more pressure on the tongue.
