Watch LessonMcHardy Elliptical Dressage
A horse shaking its head when bit pressure is applied or trying to put its tongue over the bit are classic signs the horse has a sensitive tongue. With this in mind the McHardy Elliptical Dressage was created, it has a medium port creating space for the tongue, relieving pressure. The flattened lozenge in the middle increases bar pressure and as a result extends the head and brings the nose in giving more control. The McHardy Elliptical Dressage slightly softens the tongue pressure, the lozenge is flattened so that it spreads pressure out over a bigger surface area.

Functionality
The McHardy Elliptical Dressage offers some tongue relief due to the medium sized port. The center component is a flattened lozenge that spreads pressure over a bigger surface. 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 McHardy Dressage is available in Sweet Iron and Titanium. The Sweet Iron material was chosen as a metal option as it oxidizes. Oxidization encourages salivation and acceptance of the mouthpiece. The Titanium material was designed as an alternative metal option to sweet iron, this metal was specifically chosen due to its hypoallergenic nature. The double break, McHardy , is a flexible mouthpiece and will take the shape of the horses mouth.
