Waldhausen Double Jointed Bits: A soft fit in the horse's mouth
A centre link spreads pressure across tongue and bars and avoids the nutcracker effect. Here you will find double jointed bits from Waldhausen.
Thanks to the extra joint, the bit wraps softly around the lower jaw, which is why many horses accept it readily. The choice ranges from the classic loose ring snaffle and anatomically shaped models to the full cheek snaffle, bradoon and eggbutt bit. The Sweet Iron D-ring bit relies on sweet iron, while the double jointed pelham adds leverage.
Which horses suit a double jointed bit?
Often horses with a low palate or a thick tongue that become unsettled in a single jointed bit. Try it out calmly and watch whether your horse chews in a more relaxed way.
