Beris Konnex 2½ Ring Tongue Port Soft - 18mm

Beris Konnex

• Konnex bits are made of an approved refined plastic that does not cause friction in the horse's mouth, even in horses with little saliva.
• Konnex bits are flatter than the average plastic bits and therefore lie comfortably in the horse's mouth.
• The Konnex tongue port not only gives more room at the tongue, but also lies flatter on the tongue part, so that the rein pressure is distributed over a wider part of the tongue.
• Konnex bits are ideally suited for horses with little space in the mouth and horses that cannot tolerate too much pressure on the tongue.

2½ & 3 Ring Bit:

• A 2½ & 3 Ring Snaffle is also called a Pessoa bit and can be recognized by the extra rings on top and at the bottom of the regular bit rings.
• The top ring is used to attach the cheekpiece and the bottom ring the rein.
• When using the rein, the top ring will tilt forward and create leverage.
• The strength of the impact is determined by the type of mouthpiece, material and number of rings.
• A 2½ ring snaffle is therefore less effective than a 3 ring snaffle.

Straight mouthpiece features:

• A straight mouthpiece consists of 1 piece and gives pressure on the tongue, layers and lips.
• The shape and thickness of the mouthpiece determine where the pressure will be in the mouth.
• A straight mouthpiece with a tongue port gives more pressure on the layers and keeps the tongue free.
• The straighter and thicker the mouthpiece, the more pressure on the tongue.
