Stubben Steeltec Butterfly Double Jointed Bit

The Stubben 2 in 1 bit offers two levels of impact, giving the rider the ability to adapt the hardness according to the needs of the horse or the event. Its composition and design benefits improve sporting performance through clearer and more accurate communication so that the response be proportional and below expectations.

2 in 1 system

If it is placed on the more angular side, the pressure is more selective and the rider's assistance is more precise and direct. On the other hand, if the rounded side is adjusted the pressure is distributed over a wider area, making it a suitable option for sensitive horses. The placement is simple, you have to insert the embouchure when the word Strong or Soft is "readable" towards the horse's tongue.

Alternating sides of the bit prevents desensitization of the horse's mouth.

Advantages of butterfly bit

It is especially suitable for jumping because it has greater impact and control, it supports the direction of tight turns

It can be used in different ways depending on the desired degree of leverage:

1. If the reins are fixed to the center ring, the effect is similar to that of a Baucher bit which acts mainly on the horse's mouth and exerts only slight pressure on the neck.

2. If the reins are fixed to the lower ring, the action of the lever is intensified. Acts similarly to a Pessoa. However, pressure is distributed more evenly across the horse's mouth and neck, so horses accept this embouchure more easily than a Pessoa.

3. An intermediate impact can be obtained by using a Pelham bridge fixed to the central ring and the lower ring.

4. Additionally, a chain can be placed on the top ring for more intense action.

Benefits of sweet copper link

The central part is made of a solid soft copper composition (90% copper, 7% aluminum iron, nickel-free) with very high resistance. It improves the horse's acceptance thanks to its pleasant and sweet flavor. This occurs when the material naturally oxidizes and releases a pleasant flavor that stimulates chewing and salivation.

Being entirely made of stainless steel, it has a guarantee of durability and resistance to wear even in demanding contexts, focusing the oxidation function on the central piece without compromising the aesthetic appearance of the embouchure.

Benefits of the three-piece barrel

It does not put pressure on the palate, the weight distribution is balanced on the tongue and jaw, which improves the horse's direction without the famous nutcracker effect that sometimes occurs with two-piece bits. It is usually a mouthpiece that is more tolerant of errors caused by a strong hand from the rider or a pull on the reins.
