Easy Control D-Ring Bit

2251 Large D-Ring Bit Easy Control Double Jointed

The Stübben SteelTEC Easy Control bits are activated by strong, bilateral pressure from the horse, turning them into a bar bit. With normal contact with the reins and as soon as the rider or the horse relaxes, the bit becomes flexible again and can be used like a regular snaffle bit. This allows for precise yet mouth-friendly aids when needed.

Thanks to the effect of the Easy Control bit, horses often learn to hold back on their own as soon as the bar effect kicks in. Therefore, Easy Control bits should be used for training purposes for short periods, with regular checks to see if the desired learning effect has been achieved.

The double-jointed mouthpiece distributes pressure evenly over the tongue and bars. The D-ring provides better lateral stabilization and guidance, creating calm and stability in the horse's mouth. The rein effect is slightly softened by the large D-rings. This side piece should rest lightly against the side.

Note on Proper Use

Any bit can cause pain if used roughly and improperly. An incorrect size can also be painful for the horse. Please contact us if you have questions about size and fastening, or read more here about choosing the right size and proper fastening in the horse's mouth.
