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.

Similar to the Ported Barrel, the Pivot Ported will take pressure off the tongue however, the contact is more stable due to less movement in the mouth piece.  The best of the Happy Tongue and the Ported Barrel.  The Pivot Ported allows for independent lateral aids while maintaining the profile of the mouthpiece in the mouth.
