The Neue Schule Verbindend Loose Ring bit greatly clarifies emphasizes the riders signals through the rein. This bit promotes self carriage and thoroughness where a true outline and freedom of the shoulders can be developed. The Verbindend has consistently helped eradicate tongue evasions, encouraging  the horse to soften and relax through the jaw. The cleverly curved mouthpiece can also enhance the development of the bend for lateral work and smaller circles. This snaffle is not severe and is a great choice for both pleasure riding and the show ring.
