The Beris 3-Ring Bit with KONNEX Tongue Port combines the benefits of a ported design with the positive characteristics of the butterfly bar. The slimmer profile of the KONNEX bar allows it to sit comfortably in the horse’s mouth, while the wider port offers more space and relief.

This bit is especially suitable for horses with limited room in the mouth, such as thoroughbreds or older horses with changes in tooth alignment. It is also ideal for horses with large tongues or those that are sensitive to pressure points on the tongue.

The 3-ring construction integrates lateral restriction, lever, and elevator action into one bit. The degree of effect can be adjusted by varying the rein placement. When the rein is attached to the bottom ring, it applies a short lever action. This bit is often used to assess a horse’s response to leverage.
