Expert opinion : The MacGenis loose ring bit from Metalab is an anatomically designed single ring bit that offers good relaxation with its copper rollers. Unlike the double jointed which acts on the tongue, the single jointed acts on the palate and the sides of the tongue. It is important to know that the palate of the horse is a sensitive area that should not be neglected. The Privilège MacGenis bit is slightly rounded on the edges of the barrel, which gives it a stronger action. It can be recommended for horses that are relatively easy to handle but not very sensitive in the mouth or with a hollow palate. The loose rings offer a soft contact to the mouth. They allow for a slight indirect contact compared to fixed rings, making it easier to play in the fingers and limiting excessive tension.
Stainless steel : Stainless steel is a common material that does not oxidize. Due to their nature, stainless steel bits are very solid and do not damage over time.
