Watch LessonElliptical Square Twist
The Elliptical is a 45 mm lozenge, it is stronger than the Control Plate due to it having a smaller surface area. Consequently, a horse using his tongue as a means of pushing against the bit and therefore taking control, will draw back and tuck his chin in, coming back to a better point of control.
The Square Twist will create more pressure points on the mouthpiece which will make it stronger than the Round Twist and Smooth.

Functionality
The Elliptical Square Twist creates a pressure point on the tongue due to the center component concentrating pressure on a small 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 square twist is a stronger specialization than the round twist as the spines are sharper. This specialisation does applies a great amount of pressure on the tongue and bars as each curve does create an individual pressure point where it lands. The Elliptical Square 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, Elliptical Square Twist, is a broken mouthpiece and will take the shape of the horses mouth.
