Andrea Hard Rubber Bit – Fixed Rings

For clear aids with softness

The Andrea Hard Rubber Bit with fixed rings offers a powerful balance of sharpness and comfort. The fixed rings provide greater stability and consistency in your horse's mouth, while the rubbery material maintains a soft touch. Ideal for precision without being too hard.

What makes this bit special?

✅ TPU material with resilience
Made of flexible thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), which combines the softness of rubber with durability and resilience — ideal for horses sensitive to hard materials.

✅ Fixed rings for control
The fixed rings ensure that the bit moves less and provides a more direct response. This is useful when you need more clarity without overtaxing the horse.

✅ Light tongue freedom & subtle shape
The mouthpiece has a slight recess for the tongue, which reduces tongue pressure and makes the bit feel friendly. At the same time, it maintains contact with the bars and cheeks for control.

✅ Hardness options

• Hard (dark green) – for horses that can already tolerate some contact and can handle finer aids

• Soft (light green) – within the same range as a milder option

✅ Choice of thickness and length
Available in various thicknesses (e.g. 16 mm or 20 mm) and lengths (105 mm to 145 mm) to fit your horse's mouth as precisely as possible.

Who is this bit suitable for?

This variant is ideal for:

• Horses that need stability and clarity

• Sensitive horses that can still tolerate subtle contact

• Riders who strive for refined, straight-line aids
