About the Bit Is your horse inconsistent in the contact, chomping or chewing on the bit or tossing its head? Are you a less experienced rider wanting a soft and kind bit for your horse? The Turtle Top is here to answer your prayers! The Turtle Top which is inspired by the shell of the box turtle, prevents downward pressure to the horse’s tongue encouraging the horse to accept the bit and take the contact forward. The Turtle Top link is also flattened to lower pallet pressure and restricts the movement in mouthpiece, keeping it still and steady in the horse’s mouth.

Hi Jennifer, we're thrilled to hear you're happy with the fit and your horse's response! Thanks for sharing your experience and for choosing Bit Bank Australia.
Hi
My pure Arab mare is going well in her new bit. The only thing I really dislike is the huge rings on it, If I'd know they were this big I would not have purchased this bit, Looks ridiculous.
Regards
Sally
Hi Sally Thankyou for your review! They do make smaller 55mm rings in a loose ring version of this bit if that helps :)
