Aurion Fixed Ring Bevel Double Jointed with Lozenge

Suitable for horses that:

• Run long and stiff and are also busy in the mouth

• Are strong but unsteady in the contact

• Need lifting without moving to a gag

• Rub at the corners of the mouth in a loose ring

How it works

Mouthpiece.14mm, double jointed, with curved cannons angled forward to follow the shape of the tongue. The lozenge lies flat on the tongue rather than standing upright between tongue and palate, so tongue pressure is spread across the width of the tongue. There is no nutcracker action and nothing reaches the palate. Cannons and lozenge are the same alloy throughout.

Cheek piece.The bridle cheekpiece attaches to the upper loop and the rein to the lower loop, so the bit is raised in the mouth and poll pressure is applied. Because the ring is fixed to the mouthpiece nothing slides, and the aid arrives immediately and in the same place every time. The flattened D profile lies against the side of the face and assists with steering. There is no hole through the mouthpiece, so there is no pinch point at the corners.

Material. Aurion is a high copper concentrated alloy. Copper oxidises gently in saliva and gives off a faint sweet, metallic taste, which draws the horse to mouth the bit and salivate. Because the whole mouthpiece is Aurion and not just the centre link, that taste runs the full length of the bar. Aurion also warms towards body temperature faster than steel. The colour deepens with use. Cheeks are stainless steel.

Fit closely, with the lip gently brushing the cheek. No clearance is needed. Aim for one to two soft wrinkles at the corners of the mouth. The rein belongs in the lower loop.
