Without a joint, the bit acts equally on both sides and spreads the pressure across tongue and bars. Here Waldhausen relies on rubber, which feels soft. The flexible rubber straight bar bit gives a little when you take up the rein and suits young or sensitive horses well. The rubber pelham with a rigid bar also adds leverage via the curb chain and poll.

Rinse it with clean water after every ride and let it dry. Check regularly for cracks or bite marks, and replace the bit if you find any.
