Boyd Excell recommends this bit to promote lightness and to stop the horse from being able to grab onto the bit.

Key Features

A unique cheekpiece that removes poll pressure for horses that either get too low or cannot tolerate pressure placed on the poll.

The Tongue Groove allows for tongue relief, being narrower than the Happy Tongue allows it to better fit horses with a narrow jaw.

Cheekpiece

The BE Liverpool Swinging Purchase FX removes the poll pressure by allowing the bridle attachment to move.  This can increase the pressure through the curb and some leverage will still be applied to the mouthpiece.

Cheek pressure provides additional emphasis to the lateral aids.

The BE Liverpool Swinging Purchase FX is available with 2 or 3 slots to allow more options for increasing/decreasing pressure.  The cheekpiece is fixed.

Mouthpiece

The 3 available ports have been scaled according to each width. This ensures accurate fitting over the bars and eliminates the rocking movement which occurs when the port is too wide.

Specializations

The Petros mouthpieces rotate preventing the horse taking hold of the bit. Often good for a horse that leans or tries to take hold of the bit.
