"The two most important things we teach a horse before anything else is to break at the poll and raise his shoulders. The bit is the tool we use to communicate with the horse. The clearer the signal and the more comfortable the bit, the less confusion the horse is going to experiance, and the faster he is going to learn. This basic concept is what gave me the idea to create a bit that would give the rider a tool to clearly signal the horse to break at the poll and raise his shoulders, without confusing the horse or scaring him in the mouth. And why not make it a bit that would not only be a good training tool, but also a legal bit to show with."(Dennis Markle) Click Images to Enlarge Call for Pricing
