Elbow/Walsall Type Military Bit - Historical and Professional Control Product Features Historical Origin: Designed in Walsall, England in 1914, this iconic military design was used by Commonwealth and Australian forces during World War I. Construction: Features a single-jointed (articulated) mouth structure. It has a versatile style suitable for both riding and harnessed horses. Mouth Size: Standard 12.5 cm (mouth opening), providing an ideal fit for most adult horses. Adjustable Control: The pressure intensity can be adjusted thanks to two or three-degree holes in the bit arms. Function: Also known as the "Elbow" bit, this provides high precision and authority in controlling the horse. Product Description The Elbow/Walsall Military Bit is one of the most successful and versatile designs in equestrian history. It was first produced to provide soldiers with absolute control over their horses during the harsh conditions of World War I. This bridle's "Elbow" type curved arms optimize how rein commands are transmitted to the horse's mouth. Balance of Force and Precision: The greatest advantage of this bridle is its stepped hole system on the arms. When the reins are attached to the lower holes, the "force arm" extends; this allows even the slightest movement of the rider to create stronger pressure on the horse's palate. Thanks to this feature, it achieves high success even with difficult-to-control or strong horses. Its positive results on many different horse temperaments make it indispensable for professional riders and historical equipment enthusiasts. Technical Superiority and Advantages Adjustable Pressure Force: Thanks to the hole options on the arm, the rider can personalize the amount of pressure on the palate according to their needs. Superior Material Quality: Manufactured from high-strength and rust-resistant metal, conforming to historical "Walsall/English Pattern" standards. Universal Compatibility: It has an ergonomic design proven to benefit many horses with different temperaments. Excellent Handling and Control: Offers an effective solution, especially for horses that resist steering and stopping commands. Both Riding and Harnessing: Thanks to its flexible design, it can be safely used both in saddled riding and in harness (carriage, etc.). Areas of Use: For training and riding strong, difficult-to-handle horses or horses that are slow to respond to stopping commands; in historical reenactments, military parades, or classical riding disciplines; in professional off-road and obstacle riding requiring a lever advantage; to improve the equipment standards of horses used for both riding and harness purposes.
