The "bucephalus pro horse bit" is a soft action loose ring snaffle bit. The reins are attached to the bit with two strong rubber bands within the O-rings. This creates a flexible connection between the rider's hand to the horse's mouth thus encouraging the connection from the hind leg into the rein. The pressure transmitted through the horse's mouth is reduced thereby promoting forward motion, rhythm and a softer contact.This naturally encourages elasticity in the horse's movement and willingness in the collection.
