Kimblewick Cheeks
The Kimblewick is a fixed cheek bit that is often used on horses and
ponies that prove a little too strong in a snaffle; it is also often
used by children to help them have some control should they need it.
There are two main types of kimblewick, the slotted version that has two
fixed rein slots in the cheek piece, or the plain cheek where the reins
are attached to the cheek as you would a snaffle. Both types of
Kimblewicks are used with a curb chain. The hanging cheek part if the
bit from the cheek slot to the mouthpiece uses poll pressure and lip
pressure, and various pressures in the mouth depending on the
mouthpiece. When the rein is used, the curb chain should come into play,
but not straight away, there should be some give in the rein before the
curb chain tightens.
About the KK Ultra Mouthpiece
The KK ULTRA bits take
advantage of the exceptional sensitivity of the tongue. Did you know
that because the tongue is extremely sensitive it multiplies perceptions
in this area dramatically?
You might also recognize the feeling if the human tongue finds a
little how in the tooth it gives the impression there is a huge gap. A
horses tongue works in much the same way, whilst eating it can filter
out small stones from the food. In collaboration with SPRENGER, the
Veterinary University in Hanover started a new project. They examined
more that 70 horses heads and used various methods to take
measurements.
The analysis of this information produced unexpected results:
SPRENGER used this new information for the development of the KK ULTRA. The aim was to improve the bits bit not make them too
severe.
How can the sense of touch be stimulated to obtain the desired effect?
