In which discipline?For disciplines and situations where the use of this type of bit is permitted according to the applicable competition rules.

This combination requires an experienced and independent rider. The 2.5-ring can increase pressure on both the corners of the mouth and the poll, and the tongue port enhances the effect of the rigid mouthpiece.

Therefore, choose the rein attachment consciously. More leverage also means a stronger effect. If your horse does not need that extra control, it is better to choose a less strong mouthpiece or cheekpiece.

Before each use, check that the bit is correctly fitted and that the size matches the horse's mouth. Rinse the mouthpiece clean after use to remove saliva and food residues.

Attach the cheekpieces to the upper rings and choose the rein position appropriate for the desired action. The bit can be used with one or two pairs of reins or with a pelham strap. Keep in mind that a rein position that creates more leverage will intensify the action. Clean the bit carefully after use.

Is the Winderen 2.5 Ring Bit with Port a strong bit?

Yes. Winderen describes the bit with port as the most powerful mouthpiece in this series. In combination with the 2.5-ring cheekpiece, additional leverage can also be created.

What does the port do?

The anatomically shaped port creates space for the tongue. The shape also shifts some of the pressure from the tongue to the corners of the mouth.

What is the difference between Slim and Comfort?

The Slim version has a thickness of 14 mm. The Comfort version is 18 mm thick. Which thickness is suitable depends, among other things, on the available space in the horse's mouth.

What type of horse is this bit intended for?

Winderen recommends this configuration for, among others, very forward-going horses, horses that do not respond sufficiently to the rider's hand, need contact correction, or try to put their tongue over the bit.

Can I use this bit with two reins?

Yes. The 2.5-ring cheekpiece can be used with one or two pairs of reins. Use with a Pelham strap is also possible.
