If you're looking for better connection without compromising your horse's comfort, **large loose ring bits** might be your perfect middle ground.
Unlike traditional loose rings, **the larger diameter provides more stability** and clearer steering without the rigid feel of full cheek bits. It’s ideal for riders who want more support without going to a fixed cheekpiece.
What makes loose rings so effective?
✅ **Independent movement:** The rings move separately from the mouthpiece, allowing the horse to position the bit where it's most comfortable—higher or lower in the mouth.
✅ **Encourages softness:** Great for horses that can be a little stiff or heavy in the contact.
✅ **Freedom for the tongue:** Helps horses who like to play with or adjust the bit to relieve pressure.
This makes large loose rings especially useful for Show Jumping horses, Polo or Polocrosse. Retraining projects, or sensitive types that need a balance of guidance and flexibility.
