Functionality
The Dressage Plate Round Twist creates a pressure on the tongue. The plate is angled at 45 degrees to sit flat on the horses tongue, the center component is narrower than the Control Plate 45 therefore tongue pressure is sharper as pressure is applied over a smaller surface area. Pressure descends onto the bars and due to the mouthpiece being a double break, it will create a squeeze on the bars – however this squeeze on the bars is less than the squeeze created by a single jointed mouthpiece.
The twists in the mouthpiece will create pressure points on the tongue that descend onto the bars. The round twist is slightly softer than the square twist as the twists are rounded.
The Dressage Plate Round Twist is available in Sweet Iron. The Sweet Iron material was chosen as a metal option as it oxidizes. Oxidization encourages salivation and acceptance of the mouthpiece.
The double break, Dressage Plate Round Twist, is a flexible mouthpiece and will take the shape of the horses mouth.
