The D-Ring Curved Elliptical Bit is a sophisticated cross between an eggbutt snaffle and a fulmer snaffle. This design is less bulky than an eggbutt, featuring longer, straighter shanks that prevent pinching at the corners of the mouth and provide greater control. This bit is favored in show jumping and racing for its superior control and safety.

Features:
- Stainless Steel Construction: Durable and resistant to rust, ensuring longevity and reliability.
- Prevents Pinching: Designed to avoid pinching at the corners of the mouth, offering enhanced comfort for your horse.
- Enhanced Control: Provides more control with steering, making it ideal for disciplines requiring precision.
- Reduced Nutcracker Action: The elliptical link minimizes the nutcracker effect, distributing pressure evenly.
- Curved Mouthpiece: Ergonomically designed to create more room for the tongue, increasing comfort.

The D-Ring’s longer shanks work effectively on the sides of the mouth, giving riders precise steering control without the risk of the bit being pulled through the mouth. The oval elliptical link, a variant of the French link, incorporates a rounded lozenge instead of a flat spatula. This design reduces the nutcracker action, offers more even pressure distribution over the bars, and allows for independent control over both sides of the mouth.

The curved mouthpiece is designed with the horse's comfort in mind, creating extra room for the tongue and making it a comfortable choice for prolonged use.
