{"product_id":"aster-confidence-pink-titanium-double-jointed-lock-up-universal","title":"Aster Confidence Pink Titanium double jointed lock up Universal","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe Aster Confidence pink titanium double-jointed lock-up universal is designed to provide stability and reassurance while maintaining a softer, more even feel across the tongue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eCrafted in premium titanium, the mouthpiece offers gentle warmth and lightness in the mouth. The central double joint distributes pressure more evenly than a traditional single joint, supporting horses who prefer a flatter, more accommodating feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe subtle lock-up mechanism prevents over-collapse of the mouthpiece, maintaining straightness and stability without creating rigidity. This allows rein aids to be applied with clarity and a degree of softness, as the horse is less trapped, thereby avoiding the objectionable reaction to the nutcracker action that is building as the bit closes with ever greater force on the horse's mouth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe universal cheek is designed to offer adaptable rein positioning while maintaining clarity and stability in the contact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWith multiple rein attachment options, it allows the rider to fine-tune the feel without dramatically increasing pressure. Used with the main ring alone, it acts as a stable snaffle. When the rein is attached lower, a mild lifting effect can be introduced, encouraging balance without abrupt action.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIn this version, the upper ring is slightly overlapped rather than sitting completely flat. This subtle design detail allows the bit to sit marginally away from the face, reducing friction at the lips and avoiding unnecessary cheek pressure. The result is a cleaner, more comfortable position in the mouth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe Confidence double-jointed universal can be particularly helpful for:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul type=\"disc\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eHorses who benefit from a little lift in the forehand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThose who become heavy or strong in a plain snaffle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eRiders seeking an adjustable feel without moving into stronger leverage designs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eHorses that prefer stability with controlled mobility in the jumping phases\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Aster Bits","offers":[{"title":"115mm","offer_id":57893805556057,"sku":"C2-DJ-PT-U 115","price":140.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"125mm","offer_id":57893805588825,"sku":"C2-DJ-PT-U 125","price":140.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"135mm","offer_id":57893805621593,"sku":"C2-DJ-PT-U 135","price":140.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"145mm","offer_id":57893805654361,"sku":"C2-DJ-PT-U 145","price":140.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0953\/1405\/1417\/files\/Screenshot2026-04-22140907.png?v=1776900685","url":"https:\/\/www.saddlemasters.co.uk\/products\/aster-confidence-pink-titanium-double-jointed-lock-up-universal","provider":"Saddle Masters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
