0029A - Flat reclining cannon Ashleigh bit

Composition: Stainless Steel

This Ashleigh bit offers an excellent balance between control, comfort, and refined communication, making it particularly suitable for sensitive horses or those needing more structured guidance without excess pressure.

Its flat, straight mouthpiece, notably unconventional, is articulated around a 90° axis, allowing it to naturally follow the angle of the horse’s jaw. This design provides a wide contact surface, evenly distributing pressure and offering many horses greater ease and relaxation during work.

The integrated tongue relief helps to reduce pressure on the palate and supports jaw relaxation.

The Ashleigh bit is an excellent compromise between a snaffle and a curb bit. It allows slight leverage depending on the position of the reins, the type and adjustment of the curb chain, and the intended action. It encourages poll flexion and applies measured pressure on the lower jaw, making it a valuable option for riders seeking a subtle yet effective influence.

Its side slots allow you to adjust the rein position, thus modulating the effect according to the horse’s sensitivity and the rider’s needs.

This bit can be used:

– with single reins in different slots (to increase or reduce the lever effect)
– or with a curb chain whose action can be softened using leather, nylon, or a rubber covering

Maintenance advice: rinse the bit after each use to prevent any residue deposit and to avoid your horse to feel any discomfort.
