Loose Rings are designed to move independently to the mouthpiece. This allows the horse more freedom to use his tongue, enabling them to place the pressure from the mouthpiece either higher or lower, whichever they prefer. Loose Rings work differently and independently from the mouthpiece in comparison to Fixed Rings. The use of Bit Guards will reduce movement of the rings, if you prefer a more stable feel on the reins. When Bit Guards are correctly fitted, the hole where the bit ring passes through should sit just on the corner of the mouth. To avoid any pinching, we recommend using our Mouth Corner Tape. Loose Rings are a good choice for a horse that prefers to lean on the bit and can feel stiff. The choice of accompanying mouthpiece is also a consideration, for example for a playful mouth, you may consider using something more stable.
