The AK Loose Ring, featuring a double jointed rhombus design with a tapered head, is expertly crafted from nickel silver. This advanced loose ring design boasts additional protection alongside a gentle surface, designed to prevent any uncomfortable pinching of the lips. It provides a solid, reassuring feeling against the side of the face, while preventing the bit from slipping through the mouth.
Its connection strength surpasses that of a control plate due to its smaller surface area. As a result, horses that habitually use their tongues to press against the bit for control will find themselves recoiling and tightening their chins to return to a more comfortable control point. This can be particularly beneficial for horses with sensitive tongues who may otherwise avoid pressure, shake their heads, place their tongues over the bit, or draw their tongues back.
The AK Loose Ring’s intelligent design allows for an instant release, providing immediate relief from pressure on the tongue and bar area. It is available in a range of sizes: 4.50 inches, 4.75 inches, 5.00 inches, 5.25 inches, 5.50 inches, 5.75 inches, and 6.00 inches.
The entire bit is made from nickel silver, a material chosen for its horse-friendly properties. It encourages acceptance of the bit, providing a warm and soft touch that promotes salivation. The mouthpiece has a thickness of 14mm, while the ring size measures 65mm. This is an exceptional choice for those seeking improved control and comfort for their horses.
