KORSTEEL Cambridge Mouth Uxeter Kimberwicke

The Cambridge mouthpiece is shaped with a gentle curve, offering a mild, comfortable fit for horses that dislike tongue pressure. It provides a more uniform feel across the bars of the mouth compared to jointed bits.

The upper slot functions similarly to a standard snaffle, providing direct pressure. The lower slot introduces curb action, offering increased leverage and control when you need a bit more stopping power.

Yes, the Cambridge mouthpiece is generally considered a milder option because it lacks the 'nutcracker' effect of a single-jointed bit. However, because it is a Kimberwicke, the curb action can still be strong, so it is best used with a soft hand.

Yes, a Kimberwicke is designed to be used with a curb chain or curb strap to engage the leverage action properly. Without it, the bit will not function as intended and may rotate too far in the horse's mouth.

The Kimberwicke is widely accepted in many English disciplines, including pleasure riding and certain hunter classes. Always check your specific rulebook, as some organizations have restrictions on bit types and mouthpiece designs.
