Stübben Fine Line Flex 3-Ring Bit 1312: Gentle Control for Powerful Moments

Do you know the problem? Your horse gets strong on the course or in the cross-country, but conventional metal bits are simply too harsh or cause restlessness in the mouth? This is exactly where the Stübben Fine Line Flex 3-Ring Bit comes in.

This bit is a real "game-changer" for riders who need clear action without risking harmony. It combines the proven leverage of a 3-ring bit (Pessoa) with an innovative, horse-friendly material.

Why this bit can improve your riding experience

The Stübben Fine Line series was developed to close the gap between pure plastic bits and metal bits.

• The material makes the difference: The mouthpiece is made of high-quality, food-grade plastic. Unlike metal, it feels "warmer" and more pleasant for the horse. Many horses accept this material more confidently and come onto the bit better.
• Stability & Safety: No worries about plastic – a flexible stainless steel core inside the bit ensures absolute safety. So you have the softness of plastic with the reliability of steel.
• No nutcracker effect: Due to the continuous bar shape (Flex), the bit lies quietly in the mouth. It prevents the punctual pressure on the palate that single-jointed bits can sometimes cause.

3 Rings – Your Choice for Action

The versatility of this bit is ideal if you need to adapt to different situations. You decide how strong the leverage should be:

1. Large ring: Acts similarly to a snaffle bit (softest setting).
2. Lower ring: Creates leverage on the poll. Ideal if you need more control on the course or if your horse tends to "lean on the bit".
3. Variable with Pelham straps: For a finely graduated effect, you can also ride with two reins or Pelham straps (sold separately).

Ideally suited for:

• Show jumpers and cross-country horses that get strong in the heat of the moment.
• Horses that are sensitive to pure metal pressure or react with head shaking.
• Riders seeking precise communication.

ePony Tip:
