Bits with a Waterford mouthpieceWaterford Type of Bits: snaffle, pelham, gag, curb What it is: The mouthpiece is made of 5-9 joints and is very flexible. Action: Due to the many joints, the waterford has many bumps, which can act as pressure points. The idea is that the great flexibility will discourage the horse from leaning on it. Materials: Stainless steel. Uses: Most common in the English disciplines, especially show jumping and eventing. Used mainly on strong horses. Not permitted in dressage, not commonly used in hunt seat riding. Rather rare in a pelham, very rare in a curb bit. |
