{"title":"Lever Bits","description":"Looking at the cheekpieces of the bit, Lever bits are those that provide some added poll pressure through a leverage action. For example, Elevator bits, which are really popular for showjumping and Universal bits, which are helpful for horses that can get strong out hacking or hunting. Lever action bits are not dressage-legal.","products":[{"product_id":"sprenger-dynamic-rs-universal-bit","title":"Sprenger Dynamic RS Universal Bit (40626)","description":"Sprenger's Dynamic RS range of bits have mouthpieces that are ergonomically designed, to suit the shape of the horse's mouth. The curved mouthpiece sits comfortably over the horse's tongue, with the central lozenge angled so as to be flat and smooth when the reins are taken up. This results in an even level of bit pressure across the horse's tongue and lips and makes for a mild, consistent contact.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Universal cheekpieces provide you with a range of options, whether with one rein or two, particularly useful for a horse that can be strong in some circumstances. Combined with the Sensogan alloy mouthpiece, this is a really versatile bit that provides control but with respect for the horse's comfort.","brand":"Sprenger","offers":[{"title":"125mm (5\")","offer_id":28847658130,"sku":"11138ZEB125","price":197.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"135mm (5.25\")","offer_id":28847658194,"sku":"11138ZEB135","price":197.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"145mm (5.75\")","offer_id":28847658258,"sku":"11138ZEB145","price":197.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1651\/8047\/products\/11138ZEB.jpg?v=1597691246"},{"product_id":"neue-schule-beval-bit","title":"Neue Schule Beval Bit","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe NS Tranz Beval bit (also known as a Wilkie bit) is often sourced for horses or ponies that are strung out or poke their nose.
