We love this precise and effective bit from Herm Sprenger!

KK ULTRA bits are the pioneers of modern bits because they have been developed on the basis of scientific research. They achieve their unique, precise effect through the special 45° angle of the middle link. When used correctly, the horse’s confidence in the rider’s hand is enhanced, which is why these bits are used successfully worldwide in all disciplines and across all training levels – a genuine all-round talent!
Compared to conventional bits, the middle link has also been shortened. This anatomical adaptation noticeably optimizes the effect compared to conventional double jointed bits.

When the reins are taken up, the middle link – also known as the “lozenge” because of its striking shape – gently rolls over the central part of the horse’s tongue, stimulating its sense of touch.

This Kimblewick allows for effective and precise rein aids on tongue, poll, and lower jaw. Depending on the attachment of the reins the leverage effect can be adjusted. Meaning you can individually adjust the bit to your horse while having less leverage in comparison to a pelham. A Kimblewick is used in combination with a curb strap. The latter should allow a 45° angle between shank and mouth in order to limit the pressure on the poll.
