Curb
Used together with a snaffle bit in the double bridle. In its upper part there are rings for attaching the cheek straps and hooks for fastening the curb chain. In the lower part there are rings for attaching the curb reins. It works with great force on the lower jaw and poll. Allows raising and rounding the neck in higher class dressage. Its strength is regulated by the length of the shanks (we offer short, medium and long shanks) and the length of the curb chain.
Recommended for horses: very well trained.
Recommended for riders: experienced, capable of causing two pairs of reins.
Single jointed – gel mouthpiece with a non-invasive joint
• Jointed steel core
• Small, non-invasive joint
• Available in thickness: Slim and Comfort
• Available in sizes: 115 mm / 125 mm / 135 mm / 145 mm | 4.5″ / 4.9″ / 5.3″ / 5.7″
This model consists of two movable parts with a rigid steel core. They are connected by a metal joint that allows the bit elements to move independently. The length of both parts of the mouthpiece is covered with a horse-friendly gel material, protecting the corners of the mouth, the sides of the tongue and the edges of the jaw from pinching. These features allow the bit to fit comfortably in the mouth, being more pleasant for the horse, while maintaining the functionality of a traditional single-jointed bit. This type of mouthpiece acts primarily on the edges of the jaw, the sides of the tongue and the corners of the mouth. It is an ideal solution for horses that prefer broken bits without excess pressure on the tongue. The single-jointed mouthpiece transfers the action of the rider’s hand primarily to the jaw, which is also protected against uncomfortable pressure by a layer of horse-friendly gel.
Recommended for horses: that need to be ridden with heavier contact and do not like direct pressure on the tongue.
Double Broken Mullen Mouth – an innovative hybrid of the traditional Mullen Mouth and Double-jointed mouthpieces
• Hybrid of double-jointed mouthpiece and Mullen Mouth mouthpiece
• Anatomical shape
• Available in thickness: Slim and Comfort
• Available in sizes: 115 mm / 125 mm / 135 mm / 145 mm | 4.5″ / 4.9″ / 5.3″ / 5.7″
At its core, this mouthpiece has 3 movable parts connected to each other. However, on the outside, the entire length of the mouthpiece is covered with our unique horse-friendly gel material, covering all joints while maintaining the required movement. This unique solution makes the mouthpiece anatomically fit to the horse’s mouth, at the same time helping prevent the tongue, palate, mucous membranes, and corners of the mouth from pinching and eliminating any nutcracker action. All these features make the Double Broken Mullen Mouth mouthpiece much more gentle to the horse’s mouth while offering the same action as a traditional double-jointed version. This type of mouthpiece sits nicely in the mouth, distributing pressure evenly around the tongue and transferring the action of the rider’s hand directly to the corners of the mouth. It is an ideal solution for horses preferring synthetic gel bits and riders looking for more precise action than straight flexible mouthpieces.
Recommended for all horses with no contact problems.
Super Flexi Mullen Mouth – the mildest of our mouthpieces range
• Has a flexible steel core
• Flexibility: High
• Available in sizes: 115 mm / 125 mm / 135 mm / 145 mm | 4.5″ / 4.9″ / 5.3″ / 5.7″
Very high flexibility and anatomical shape, with a very mild port in the central part which is making the bit evenly arranged on the tongue, ensuring freedom of chewing. It has a flexible metal core.
Recommended for horses: young, delicate in mouth, with a tendency to go easily behind the contact.
Flexi Mullen Mouth – the most universal of our mouthpieces range
• Has a flexible steel core
• Flexibility: Medium
• Available in thickness: Slim and Comfort
• Available in sizes: 115 mm / 125 mm / 135 mm / 145 mm | 4.5″ / 4.9″ / 5.3″ / 5.7″
This bit maintains all the advantages of the anatomical shape of Super Flexi, but inside it has a metal core with less elasticity. Optimal flexibility and arrangement in the mouth make it a universal bit.
Recommended for all horses without contact problems.
Rigid Mullen Mouth – stiff mouthpiece with anatomical shape
• Has a rigid stainless-steel core
• Anatomical shape
• Available in thickness: Slim and Comfort
• Available in sizes: 115 mm / 125 mm / 135 mm / 145 mm | 4.5″ / 4.9″ / 5.3″ / 5.7″
The bit has a completely rigid core, and at the same time maintains the shape of the anatomical Super Flexi, which is well accepted and liked by horses. The mouthpiece does not bend, which distributes the pressure evenly on the tongue and the corners of the mouth. The rider’s hands movements are very clear to the horse.
Recommended for horses: not respecting the rider’s hand, requiring contact correction.
Ported Mullen Mouth – the most powerful of our mouthpieces range
• Has a rigid stainless-steel core
• Anatomical shape with space for the tongue
• Available in thickness: Slim and Comfort
• Available in sizes: 115 mm / 125 mm / 135 mm / 145 mm | 4.5″ / 4.9″ / 5.3″ / 5.7″
The large, arcuate port in the central part leaves room for the tongue, provoking the horse to more intense chewing and making it difficult to put tongue over the bit. This shape transfers part of the pressure from the tongue to the corners of the mouth, strengthening the effect of the bit. Thanks to the completely rigid core, the bit does not bend.
Recommended for horses: going forward, not respecting the rider’s hand, requiring contact correction, putting the tongue over the bit.
Ported Mullen Mouth with Bit Guards
• Has a rigid stainless-steel core
• Anatomical shape with space for the tongue
• Integrated guards
• Available in thickness: Slim and Comfort
• Available in sizes: 115 mm / 125 mm / 135 mm / 145 mm | 4.5″ / 4.9″ / 5.3″ / 5.7″
While maintaining the characteristics of a regular ported mullen mouth, we’ve added integrated bit guards that are designed to stabilize the bit in the horse’s mouth. It allows you to act not only on the jaw, tongue and corners of the mouth, but also on the cheeks.
Recommended for horses: with very sensitive mouth corners, misaligning the jaw while riding, having trouble turning.
