The Beris 3-ring bit Konnex Thin with port is an evolution of the original Konnex mouthpiece, now in a slimmer and more tailored design. With a thickness of just 15 mm, this bit provides more space in the horse's mouth, while the proportionately designed tongue port enhances comfort. Its anatomical shape and smooth transition between the mouthpiece and rings ensure stability in the mouth, distributing pressure evenly and relieving the tongue, which can lead to a more relaxed contact.
The 3-ring function allows for variation in the bit's effect depending on where the reins are attached. Attaching to the lower rings creates a leverage effect that also influences poll pressure, while the absence of a cheek chain or strap provides a lifting gag effect. The lower the reins are placed, the more pronounced the effect. The bit can be used with two reins for a more nuanced effect or with a delta for simpler use. It is often used to adjust or introduce a certain leverage effect.
3-ring bits are recommended for experienced riders with a stable and responsive hand, as the enhanced effect requires good feel in use. Note that the mouthpiece is not intended for horses that chew on the bit. Pony sizes come with proportionately smaller side parts.
