Andrea Hard Rubber Bit – Fixed Rings
Powerful clarity while maintaining softness
The Andrea Hard Rubber Bit with fixed rings offers a stable, direct connection while maintaining the comfortable feel of rubber. Ideal for horses that require consistent mouth placement and clear cues, without hard materials.
What characterizes this bit?
✅ TPU / hard rubber-like material
The mouthpiece is made of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), which offers a balance between strength and flexibility — a middle ground between metal and soft rubber.
✅ Small tongue recess
A subtle space is provided for the tongue to relieve pressure. This prevents unnecessary strain on the tongue, while the bit still maintains contact with the bars and cheeks.
✅ Fixed rings for stability
With fixed rings, the bit doesn't rotate or slide in the mouth. This ensures consistent contact and prevents irritation from unwanted movement.
