Low Port Gem - Precise Control and Tongue Freedom
Product Features
Muzzle Structure: Features a "Low Port" design that reduces pressure on the tongue and allows it to relax. Material: Equipped with a "Sweet Iron" surface that increases the horse's saliva production, making it easier to accept the gem. Palate Spacing: With a measurement of 12.5 cm, it offers an ideal fit for horses with standard mouth structures. Mechanism of Action: It does not make excessive contact with the tongue surface, which makes the gem feel lighter while providing effective palate pressure when needed. Durability: Made with stainless steel arms and long-lasting mouthpiece material.
Product Description
The Low Port Gem is a special piece of equipment developed for riders who want to maintain clear communication while preserving the sensitivity in the horse's mouth. The low bridge design allows the horse's tongue to move instead of completely suppressing it; this provides great comfort for horses with sensitive tongues or those who dislike tongue pressure.
Sweet Palate Advantage: The special alloy used in the mouthpiece leaves a pleasant taste in the horse's mouth and triggers the chewing reflex. This helps the horse establish a smoother contact and more readily accept rein commands. The standard 12.5 cm size offers balance and control in professional riding disciplines.
Technical Superiority and Advantages
Tongue Comfort: The Low Port design distributes pressure on the tongue, allowing the horse to feel more comfortable in the mouth.
Saliva Support: The sweet palate material prevents dry mouth, creating a gentle bond between the bit and the horse.
Light and Effective: Provides minimum contact with the tongue surface while offering clear guidance over the palate when necessary.
Ideal Size: The 12.5 cm palate gap provides excellent ergonomics and seating for most adult horses.
Clear Communication: Transmits even the slightest rein movements from the rider to the horse's mouth in a stable but gentle manner.
Applications
Training horses that are sensitive to tongue pressure or that try to thrust their tongues onto the bit. Training exercises to ensure precise control in horses with sensitive mouths. Horses transitioning from standard break-type bits to palatal bits. Situations where it is necessary to soften the horse's mouth and encourage chewing.
