Key Features

As with the Pelham, the action of the Kimblewick is dependent upon the position of the riders hands. The rein slides on the Dee shaped bit ring. If the hands are lowered prior to pressure being applied to the reins, the rein will slide about an inch and the bit will assume roughly a 45° angle in the mouth. Causing the mouthpiece to act in a downward and backward motion on the lower jaw, this is complemented by a downward pressure on the poll, giving the bit a lowering action. There are 3 rein settings which increase or decrease the pressure.

The Elliptical Lock Up removes the nut cracker action of the conventional three piece, meaning less pressure on the bars but more on the tongue. The Elliptical Lock Up is therefore a softer option, than a conventional elliptical, although stronger than a control plate.

Cheekpiece

The cheekpiece is available in 2 sizes, standard and a slightly smaller model for a pony. The standard size Kimblewick is available with a shorter purchase, the Kimblewick Lite. Supplied with a nylon back strap.

Mouthpiece

The mouthpiece can be optionally more curved, creating a more comfortable bend  than the conventional, which reduces pinch and spreads pressure points around the bars.

Supplied with a nylon back strap.
