Needle jaws for precise framing and secure contact

The needle bit is a mouthpiece designed to guarantee excellent lateral guidance, thanks to its fixed lateral metal rods. It allows horses to be better guided in their direction, prevents the bit from sliding sideways in the mouth, and limits pinching at the commissures. Highly appreciated in the training of young horses, it is also suitable for powerful horses or those that are difficult to keep in line.

  • Reinforced lateral framing
  • Helps with bending and steering
  • Avoids parasite movements of the bit
  • Ideal for young horses or those sensitive to framing.

Effects and operation of the needle bit

The bit acts primarily on :

  • The tongue and lower jaw, depending on the chosen curvature
  • The lateral areas of the mouth thanks to its pins, which act as a guiding barrier.

Thanks to this design, the needle bit facilitates bending, straightening and precision, particularly when learning to turn or change direction.

Which horse for a needle bit?

  • Young horses undergoing breaking-in or training
  • Those with a tendency to run away from contact or to take the bit out of their mouth
  • Powerful or toned horses needing better lateral support.

It should be used with care with horses that are very sensitive to lateral pressure or to the commissure.
