The Low Port Uxeter Kimberwick is a multi-functional bit that works either on the tongue or the chin and poll depending on the placement of the reins. The low port puts slight pressure on the roof of the mouth & provides more room for the horse's tongue.This is a bit commonly used in general riding and provides more aids to a horse that may be a stronger puller or needs slight curb action to lower its head. The Low Port Uxeter Kimberwick has slots in the rings for rein placement. Made of stainless steel for long lasting durability, the Low Port Uxeter Kimberwick comes in 4 1/2", 4 3/4", 5" or 5 1/2".

This is a bit commonly used in general riding and provides more curb action to a horse that may be a strong puller or needs slight curb action to lower its head. It is quite common to see ponies wearing these bits.

**How It Works: A Kimberwick is a curb (leverage) bit. The further the reins slide down the D ring, the more leverage is applied. On the Uxeter Kimberwick the reins can be attached through the slots. (A plain Kimberwick bit would not have the slots along the sides of the D rings).The lower slot will have more curb action than the upper slot. The curb chain or straps prevents the bit from rotating too far in the horse’s mouth. When the reins are pulled back the bit applies pressure to the bars of the mouth, the chin and the poll.
