The Double Jointed Leather Covered D Ring Bit has a stainless steel core wrapped in leather, providing strength while offering a softer surface than a bare metal bit. The leather softens slightly when moistened, giving a gentler surface for horses with sensitive mouths. Flat, non-abrasive stitching ensures the mouthpiece is smooth and comfortable, reducing the risk of irritation. The double-jointed mouthpiece has a central link that allows the mouthpiece to lie evenly across the tongue and bars, reducing the nutcracker effect of single joints. Paired with D-ring cheekpieces, this bit provides lateral stability and prevents rotation, supporting consistent contact. Ideal for horses that prefer steady contact, have sensitive mouths, or respond better to a leather covered bit than a standard metal bit.
