Comfort, fit and natural action \u2013 a bit designed with the anatomy of the horse’s mouth in mind.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The anatomical model from the Balotade\u00ae Blue Steel<\/strong> series is a full bit that, thanks to its mass, sits stably in the horse’s mouth. It adapts perfectly to its build, offering comfort and precise, yet gentle action. <\/p>\n

Anatomical shape – fit and control<\/h4>\n
    \n
  • \n

    The slightly curved mouthpiece<\/strong> adapts perfectly to the shape of the horse’s palate,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    When the reins are used more forcefully, the bit changes position slightly<\/strong> , increasing the pressure on the tongue \u2013 which helps eliminate behaviours such as putting the tongue over the bit,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    It works great for horses that do not accept classic, straight mouthpieces.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Blue Steel \u2013 Natural acceptance and salivation<\/h4>\n

    A bit made of hand-polished blue steel with a sweet aftertaste<\/strong> , which:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • \n

      Stimulates natural salivation<\/strong> \u2013 under the influence of moisture and heat, a delicate, sweet rust coating is created,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Over time it changes colour from blue to grey to brown<\/strong> \u2013 it is a safe, natural process,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      This does not affect the durability or functionality of the bit<\/strong> , but actually improves its acceptance by horses.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Most horses chew this type of bit more willingly<\/strong> , cooperating more calmly with the rider.<\/p>\n

      Note on measurement<\/h4>\n

      Anatomical bits are measured in an arc<\/strong> , according to their natural position in the horse’s mouth. Thanks to this, the anatomical size corresponds to a classic bit<\/strong> . If you measure this bit “flat”, the result may be on average 1 cm longer<\/strong> than the given value. <\/p>\n

      • \n

        Stainless steel rings<\/strong> \u2013 durable and corrosion resistant,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        Thickness of the mouthpiece<\/strong> : 14 mm \u2013 for comfortable operation without excessive pressure,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
