This brilliant versatile all rounder offers control and extra lift from the shoulder without discomfort or severity as the mouthpiece is uniquely contoured to create a channel for the tongue, allowing your horse to soften and relax through the jaw. - The Universal cheeks are a very popular rider choice for faster work as they offer extra control and enhanced turning. - There are 4 rein options, including using the Curb Strap and Pelham Roundings. This means the NS Verbindend Universal is also highly recommended for flat work/training in order to lighten the forehand, thus developing throughness and establishing self carriage. - If your horse works well in the Verbindend snaffle on the flat, but you need a little more help in the jumping phases, this is the perfect bit for you!
