Kimblewick Jointed Bit

Payment Options

A jointed bit with the action of both snaffle or curb. Also Known as a Spanish Snaffle. Like thepelhamand curb bits in general, the Kimblewick has bit shankswith purchase arms. However, unlike these other bits, its shanks have no lever arm. Due to the purchase arm and geometry of the rings, the rings may function as veryshort lever arms and create a small amount of leverage, which puts this type of bit into the pelham or curb bit “family”. The curb function varies with the style of bit: slotted Kimblewicks provide the option of more curb action, whereas unslotted Kimblewicks are very close in function to theBaucher Bit, which most users regard as aSnaffle Bit, and to the pelham bit when the snaffle rein is used.
