Beautifully made.
“The unique 'Sleeved' ring design prevents the corners of the horse's lips from beeing trapped or pinched by the bit.
It removes the need for rubber bit rings, which don't work in most cases anyway and which most horses find very irritating.”
“The ECLIPSE is anatomically designed for both comfort and communication and it helps to develop a true contact and higher level of responsiveness.
Ergonomically designed, curved cannons and lozenged, these bits are only 12mm. in diameter, (the same as the NS Verbindend) and much thinner than the NS Tranz Angled Lozenge bits.
They are curved to gently wrap the tongue and lay underneath the upper palate, giving very even and gentle pressure distribution.
The ECLIPSE Bits are ideal horses with thick tongues and low palates - like many of the Cobs and heavy horses today, who simply don't have room in their mouths for any bit wider than 12mm. Unfortunately, nearly all bits start at 14mm. diameter, including the most expensive brands and are too thick for them.
This creates fussy mouths and tongue evasions.
ECLIPSE bits promote a softer more consistent contact, encouraging the horse to soften through the jaw relaxing and lengthening the neck.“
