Aster Confidence Titanium Double Jointed Lock Up Loose Ring

The Aster Confidence titanium double-jointed lock-up loose ring is designed to provide stability and reassurance while maintaining a softer, more even feel across the tongue.

Crafted in premium titanium, the mouthpiece offers gentle warmth and lightness in the mouth. The central double joint distributes pressure more evenly than a traditional single joint, supporting horses who prefer a flatter, more accommodating feel.

The subtle lock-up mechanism prevents over-collapse of the mouthpiece, maintaining straightness and stability without creating rigidity.

Rein take-up is slower, and due to the bit's lightness, the horse is encouraged to seek out the contact. The loose ring allows for a faster release, and the bit action is designed to be minimal, with the focus on softening the neck and any tension present.

A considered option for developing horses, sensitive mouths, or those seeking greater stability without excess interference.

Good for the following horses:

Reluctant to take a consistent contact

Unsettled or unstable in other bits

Sensitive or heavy horses

Horses sensitive to single joint pressure, or that hang on one rein

Those who dip in and out of the connection

A loose ring offers greater mobility within the mouth, creating a softer aid and a quicker release.

The loose ring allows the mouthpiece to move independently of the rein, creating a more fluid and responsive feel.

This increased mobility softens the initial rein aid and allows for a faster release once pressure is reduced. For many horses, this can encourage relaxation in the contact and discourage leaning, as the bit cannot be fixed against the hand.
