Lippo Mullen Barrel is a straight bit with a special mouthpiece that combines the stability of a straight bit with a more flexible feel in the center.
The bit is made of metal with a smooth and durable surface that is easy to clean and well-suited for daily use. The slim thickness of 10 mm makes the bit narrower than many standard bits, which can be an advantage for horses with less space in the mouth or horses that do not like thicker mouthpieces.
Mullen mouth means that the bit has a non-jointed or nearly straight mouthpiece, often with a slight shape that provides space for the tongue. This type of mouthpiece distributes pressure more evenly over the tongue and lower jaw than many jointed bits, which can suit horses that are sensitive to pressure points or become unsettled by too much movement in the mouth.
The barrel part in the center acts as a small movable cylinder between the two sides of the mouthpiece. This allows the bit to still feel stable like a straight bit, but with a bit more flexibility than a completely solid bar. The result is a clear, even, and calm contact, while the rider gets a bit more responsiveness in the hand.
This type of bit can suit horses that do not like double- or triple-jointed bits, horses that become too active in the mouth from movable mouthpieces, or horses that need a more still and consistent support. It can also be a good option for horses that easily become unsteady in the contact and need a more stable feel.
The bit has loose rings that provide a flexible and movable feel in the horse's mouth. Loose rings allow the bit to adapt more easily to the horse's movements and the rider's hand, which can contribute to a softer and more responsive contact.
This model also has a smart design at the ring attachments that helps reduce the risk of the horse being pinched or getting chafing at the corners of the mouth. This makes the bit a good option for horses that are sensitive at the corners of the mouth, easily get small sores, or need a bit with loose rings but with a gentler construction.
