The central double joint distributes pressure more evenly than a traditional single joint, supporting horses who prefer a flatter, more accommodating feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe fixed ring prevents pinching of the lips, which is often an issue with horses with puffy lips that flood the sides of the mouthpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe subtle lock-up mechanism prevents over-collapse of the mouthpiece, maintaining straightness and stability without creating rigidity. This allows rein aids to be reinforced clearly while avoiding sharp or exaggerated reactions during contact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eA considered option for developing horses, sensitive mouths, or those seeking greater stability without excess interference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eGood for the following horses:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eReluctant to take a consistent contact\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eUnsettled or unstable in other bits\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eGreener or more sensitive horses needing reassurance\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eHorses sensitive to single joint pressure, or that hang on one rein\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThose who dip in and out of the connection\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aster Bits","offers":[{"title":"125mm","offer_id":54836600209750,"sku":"C2-DJ-SI-F 125","price":91.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"135mm","offer_id":54836600242518,"sku":"C2-DJ-SI-F 135","price":91.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"145mm","offer_id":54836600275286,"sku":"C2-DJ-SI-F 145","price":91.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/1584\/4950\/files\/aster-confidence-sweet-iron-double-jointed-lock-up-fixed-ring-2803-p.png?v=1785314741","url":"https:\/\/horsebits.co.uk\/products\/aster-confidence-sweet-iron-double-jointed-lock-up-fixed-ring","provider":"Horsebits","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
