Stübben Easy Controll 14cm D-ring bit - For sale as new Stübben Easy Control D-Ring bit in 14 cm. I only tested it because my horse likes to lie on the bit from time to time and gets extremely strong. As we have found another solution, it is now being sold. The bit turns into a bar when too much pressure is applied, but is like a normal double jointed bit when lightly/normally leaned on. Enclosed is the description from Stübben itself:

The Stübben STEELtec Easy Control D-ring snaffle bit 14 mm | 85x60 mm | 14 cm is made of stainless steel and is equipped with D-shaped rings as a bit. The mouthpiece of this bit is double broken. The bit has a size of 14 centimeters. The mouthpiece size 14 centimeters is suitable for warmbloods.
Bit thickness
The bit is 14 mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. It is therefore more of a medium-thick mouthpiece.
For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is closer to 10mm to 14mm. Very large warmbloods, coldbloods and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.
When selecting the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical features of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.
Bit material
Stainless steel
The most common material for bits is stainless steel. Stainless steel is available in different compositions and consists of steel and various metals. Steel, on the other hand, is iron that has been mixed with carbon.
To obtain stainless steel, the steel is mixed with various metals to form different alloys. The most commonly used alloy for stainless steel bits consists of steel, chromium and nickel.
Information about the manufacturer
Mouthpiece
double broken
The double jointed mouthpiece is one of the most common mouthpieces on the market. This mouthpiece has two joints, is shaped more towards the mouth and is slightly looser in the horse's mouth. This bit exerts pressure on the tongue, the bars and the corners of the mouth. Caution with narrow lower jaws! The joints can press on the bars if the lower jaw is narrow. Compared to a single jointed bit, this bit exerts more pressure on the tongue.
Side piece
D-ring
The characteristics of this bit make it ideal for young horses that are still a little inexperienced. The shape and weight of the side pieces ensure a calm and comfortable position in the mouth. The shape of the D-shaped rings provides optimum lateral support. The large ring facilitates good and steady rein control. The larger rings provide a little more leverage on the poll.
