Lozenge 3 ring Pessoa

Lozenge 3 ring Pessoa

• 3 Rings: One top ring for the bridle, and two lower rings to attach reins, allowing riders to choose leverage levels.
• Lozenge: The central joint, often copper or a similar alloy, encourages the horse to accept the bit, increases saliva, and prevents the “nutcracker” action of a single-jointed bit.
• Pessoa/Dutch Gag Action: Raising the bit in the horse’s mouth increasing poll pressure when reins are used on the lower rings.

• For Strong Horses: Excellent for horses that pull or evade contact in jumping or fast work.
• Adjustable Control: Riders can transition from mild snaffle action on the main ring to stronger leverage. Increased control.
• Two Reins Recommended: Using two reins one on the snaffle ring, one on a lower ring. Provides better balance and prevents excessive poll pressure, notes Premier Equine.
