Pinchless mouthpiece

In the mouthpiece of a pinchless bit, there is an internal bushing, which allows the bit to rotate from the center. This allows each side of the bit to work independently without changing the position of the bit; when you give a aid with your right hand, the left side remains unaffected. A pinchless mouthpiece does not press or pinch in the horse's mouth and is very comfortable. The mouthpieces come in various types, such as double-jointed, single-jointed, or straight, made from various materials. The pinchless bit is available in both metal and leather. Depending on your horse's mouth and the response it offers with your current bit, an estimation can be made to find the right bit for the combination of rider and horse.

The pinchless mouthpiece is often used in sports as a basic bit because it is suitable for many horses and riders. The mouthpiece is especially suitable for horses that benefit from independent aids and stable contact with the rider's hand. It is generally accepted by both young and trained horses. It is up to the combination of horse and rider to find the right bit, based on the preferences of the horse and rider. At HorseOnline, you can test the bit before you buy it. A pinchless mouthpiece is FEI-approved and can be used in both jumping and dressage competitions.
