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 Pivot Low Port will lighten pressure on the tongue but not fully remove the pressure.  This keeps the bar pressure softer.  The single, tight joint allows for independent lateral aids while maintaining the profile of the mouthpiece in the mouth.

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.

Mouthpiece

 It is well suited to horses with a short smile due to the straight profile.  It will encourage those horses that are too light in the contact to take more contact.

Supplied with a nylon back strap.
