FEELING Double crimp flexi needle bit

The FEELING flexi double curb bit: needle technology for your horse

This FEELING bit with needle barrels combines two choices that really make a difference in the saddle: a double curvature that frees up the palate, and a central roller that occupies the tongue without crushing it. Apple-flavoured: your horse is more willing to take the bit, with less resistance to contact.

For your horse, the central roller creates a gentle movement in the middle of the mouth. The double curvature follows the shape of the palate better than a single curvature bit: pressure is distributed more finely, making contact more supple.

FEELING flexi double curvature bit composition

Stainless steel shanks: resistant to moisture, saliva and repeated cleaning, even with daily use. The soft flexi resin barrels soften the contact in a sensitive mouth, while retaining good hold over time.

In fact, in the saddle, this combination makes the bit more welcoming on first contact. What the data sheet doesn't say is that a tense horse often dares to land more easily when the barrel remains supple without becoming buoyant.

Dimensions and availability

• 17 mm solid barrels: a frank but softer support, interesting for delicate mouths.
• 165 mm limbs: frame the mouth and help maintain stable direction.
• Sizes available: 115, 125 and 135, to fit your horse's mouth width.

Durability and regular inspection

Flexi resin bits, like all articulated bits, wear according to each horse's dentition and chewing style. A check before each session will prevent discreet wear from becoming a nuisance in the mouth.

The most important thing to look for is the condition of the bars, palate and teeth. A marked bit can irritate, and an unbalanced mouth accentuates pressure points.

FEELING bit care: keeping flexi resin supple

Rinsing with fresh water after each use is all you need to keep the resin supple. In other words, you maintain regular contact in the mouth and limit premature barrel ageing.

Who should choose the FEELING flexi double curb bit?

Preferable if your horse is sensitive in the mouth, young in the work, or hesitant in the hand. I also recommend it when a horse refuses fixed contact and feels more reassured with a softer bit.

What really changes on the track is the quality of acceptance. Horses that contract, open their mouths or run away from the hand often find it more comfortable to stretch themselves properly.
