German Hollow Mouth

German Hollow Mouth by WIndsor Equestrian

The loose ring has much more movement and play than a fixed ring or cheek. It discourages fixing, blocking, and leaning on the bit. It also helps to encourage mouthing. The loose ring allows more movement so that it follows the angle of the tongue, this is vital because as the horse's overall outline changes it allows the bit to follow. The hollow mouth is said to be milder or kinder than the solid mouthpiece as it is lighter and thicker in diameter, which means when pressure is applied it will be distributed over a larger area
