Very popular in the show ring -- Need more control than an ordinary snaffle? The NS Beval has a mild lever action. This causes the cheeks to tilt forwards and the mouthpiece to lift up. The horse simultaneously feels the poll pressure and the upward action of the bit within the mouth. It is very effective for horses or ponies that are strung out or poke their nose. It is especially useful for the child or novice rider who does not possess either the technique or the strength in the leg to obtain a nice round outline. This 70mm ring gives a little more help than the 55mm ring. The 14mm normally offers extra lift from the shoulder and takes up less room in the mouth than thicker mouthpieces.
