Light pressure is applied to the mouth as the mouthpiece slides on the ring. After contacting the “ring stop,” the mouthpiece will engage completely and apply more downward pressure. Also, the backward and downward pressure of the noseband and the forward pressure of the curb strap are extremely effective at asking a horse to relax at the poll. Pressure on tongue and corners of the bars. Slight collapse on the bars. Tongue relief before restriction. Independent Side Movement. Used for both English and Western Disciplines.
