Hollow Mouthpiece Bits:
The Hollow mouthed bits are renowned for being milder or kinder than the solid mouth pieces, this is because the hollow mouthpieces are thicker in diameter which means the pressure of the mouthpiece on the lips is
distributed over a larger area. This may be the case for those horses who have enough room in their mouths, but it also may prove uncomfortable in some cases (e.g. those horses with thicker lips and thicker tongues) and may result in the horse not being able to close their mouths comfortably.
Please be aware that if you use such a thick bit, not to use it with a flash noseband as you may restrict your horse from swallowing.
