KORSTEEL Cambridge Mouth Kimblewick Bit

The Kimblewick acts as a curb bit, offering more leverage and control than a traditional snaffle. Because it features a fixed cheek and curb action, it provides a stronger signal to the horse, making it a useful step up for riders who need more stopping power.

No, this bit is specifically designed for use with a single rein. It mimics the curb action of a Pelham but simplifies the setup by eliminating the need for a second rein.

The low port creates a small amount of space for the horse's tongue. This helps relieve direct pressure on the tongue, which can make the bit more comfortable for horses that dislike the constant contact of a straight bar or high-pressure mouthpiece.

It is generally considered a moderate bit. While it offers more leverage than a snaffle, the severity depends heavily on the rider's hands and the adjustment of the curb chain. It is a precise tool, so it should be used by riders who have developed a steady, independent hand.

The fixed cheek prevents the bit from sliding through the horse's mouth, which provides a more stable feel. This stability helps the horse understand the rider's cues more clearly, especially when asking for turns or lateral movements.
