BUSSE Straight Bar Bits: Unjointed mouthpieces for quiet hands
A straight bar bit has no joint and sits evenly in the mouth. Here you will find unjointed mouthpieces from BUSSE and accessories for the curb.
Without a joint, a straight bar bit acts on both sides of the mouth at the same time. Many horses that do not settle in a jointed bit go more contentedly in an unjointed mouthpiece. Mouthpieces come in KAUGAN and stainless steel in several thicknesses. For curb bits, the GEL curb chain guard cushions the chain.
Is a straight bar bit harsher?
Not necessarily. Without a joint there is no nutcracker effect, but the bar reacts across its full width to every one-sided rein aid. That is why a steady hand matters.
