takes the heaviness from your hands
I have used this bit on several horses which are strong and heavy on the hand. They do not fight it but are responsive to it, and therefore much easier to ride. I think the action around the nose is the major advantage with this bit. I only use it at competitions. The horses on which we have used it, are ex racehorses and can bore down when on XC. This makes the balance before a fence, a light touch, which is important when you are only 55 kg and your horses are large!
