Novocontact bits are designed to create a unique oval shape, which expands the contact surface on the tongue while the rider maintains steady contact. When the rider takes a rein aid, the mouthpiece tilts forward and the contact surface becomes narrower, ensuring more precise and effective communication. Novocontact bits improve the interaction between horse and rider for better contact and acceptance of the bit. The three-piece Novocontact bits are perfect for use on horses that sometimes tend to pull against the hand, but are too sensitive to be ridden with stronger bits. The characteristic feature of these bits is the oval bit rings that are fixed to the mouthpiece, ensuring the bit stays securely in place in the horse's mouth. This also prevents the bit from sliding in the mouth and allows the mouthpiece to provide a direct yet gentle pressure in the center of the tongue.
