D Ring with Billy Allen Mouthpiece

 A brand new western performance equine bit design by master bit maker Greg Darnall, created exclusively for WD Bits. 

The Billy Allen mouthpiece in an equine bit is designed to provide control, comfort, and enhanced communication between the rider and horse. Here are the key functions and benefits of the Billy Allen mouthpiece:

1. Enhanced Control and Communication

• Rotating Barrel: The Billy Allen mouthpiece features a rotating barrel in the center, which allows each side of the mouthpiece to move independently. This helps the rider communicate more precise cues to the horse without causing discomfort or confusion.
• Pressure Distribution: The rotating barrel also helps to distribute pressure more evenly across the horse’s mouth, reducing the likelihood of pinching or discomfort.

2. Encourages Relaxation

• Independent Side Movement: The independent movement of the mouthpiece sides encourages the horse to relax its jaw and mouth. This can lead to a more responsive and relaxed horse, preventing the mouthpiece from locking up and causing tension.
• Gentle Pressure: The Billy Allen mouthpiece's design applies gentle pressure, making it a good choice for horses that are sensitive to harsher bits.

3. Versatility

• Suitable for Various Disciplines: The Billy Allen mouthpiece is versatile and is very effective in multiple equestrian disciplines. 

4. Promotes Correct Head Position

• Encourages Collection: By applying balanced pressure, the Billy Allen mouthpiece can help in promoting correct head position and collection, encouraging the horse to carry itself properly.

5. Safety and Comfort

• Prevents Over-Bending: The rotating barrel helps prevent the horse from over-bending or evading the bit by distributing pressure evenly and ensuring the horse remains soft in the mouth.

All bits have stainless steel cheeks and a sweet iron mouthpiece with copper inlays.
