Balotade® D-Ring Anatomical Bit with Roller

Stable, snug and engaging – ideal for horses that tend to tongue-tie or grab the bit.

The anatomical bit with D-shaped shanks and a rotating roller is a combination of three functional features : anatomical fit, stabilization and a relaxing toy.

Anatomical bend – natural positioning and greater comfort

• The mouthpiece is slightly curved, adapting to the horse’s palate,

• When the reins are used more forcefully, it increases the pressure on the tongue, preventing it from moving over the bit,

• Promotes acceptance of the bit and improves contact with the hand.

D-Ring shanks – protection and stabilization

• D-shaped shanks do not rotate, they limit the movement of the bit in the mouth,

• They prevent pinching of the corners of the lips – they work similarly to olive bits,

• They stabilize the mouthpiece, making it easier for the horse to understand the signals.

Roller – focus and relaxation

• The rotating roller gives the horse something to “play” with in its mouth,

• Helps reduce tension and stress,

• Makes it difficult for the horse to grab and hold the bit with its teeth.

High quality workmanship

• The mouthpiece and shanks are made of durable and hygienic stainless steel ,

• Suitable for everyday use and training.

Measurement Note:

Our anatomical bits are measured in an arc , according to the natural position in the horse’s mouth. If we measure the bit placed “flat”, its length may be about 1 cm bigger than indicated in the size chart. The sizes are in line with classic standards, which guarantees an optimal fit.
