Toklat English Uxeter Kimberwick Horse Bit with 3 1/2" Cheeks

Precision Control for the Spirited Horse

Finding that perfect balance between a soft hand and effective "brakes" can be a challenge, especially when you're out on the cross-country course or in a busy jump arena. The Toklat English 3 1/2" Uxeter Kimberwick (Size 5) is designed for riders who need a bit more communication than a standard snaffle provides without moving to a complex double-rein setup.

Toklat is known for quality craftsmanship, and this Kimberwick is no exception. It offers a clean, professional look that is right at home in the show ring or the hunt field, providing clear signals that help your horse stay balanced and responsive during every transition.

Key Benefits

• Customizable Leverage: The Uxeter slotted design allows you to choose between the upper slot for mild poll pressure or the lower slot for increased leverage on horses that tend to lean or pull.
• Compact 3.5-Inch Cheek: The shorter shank length provides a quicker, more direct response than longer shanks, making it ideal for smaller horses or riders who prefer subtle aids.
• Standard 5-Inch Mouthpiece: Sized at 5 inches, this bit fits the average horse comfortably, ensuring the correct width for clear lateral and direct communication.
• Simplified Control: Enjoy the stopping power of a curb bit with the ease of a single rein, making it a favorite for young riders on strong ponies or eventers tackling technical terrain.
• Durable Construction: Built for the long haul, this Toklat bit is designed to withstand the rigors of daily training and competition while remaining easy to clean and maintain.

Best For

Show Jumpers, Eventers, and Fox Hunters looking for adjustable leverage and reliable control for horses that require more than a standard snaffle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use this bit in Dressage competitions?

No, Kimberwick bits like this Toklat model are generally not permitted in Dressage. However, they are widely used and accepted in Show Jumping, Eventing (Cross Country), and Fox Hunting.

Q: How do the slots change the action of the bit?

The Uxeter slots give you options: the top slot acts more like a hanging cheek snaffle, while the bottom slot adds leverage. If you want a more traditional snaffle feel, you can attach the reins directly to the ring outside of the slots.

Q: Is the 5-inch mouthpiece right for my horse?

A 5-inch mouthpiece is the standard width for the average-sized horse. We recommend checking for about 1/4" of clearance on each side of the lips to ensure a comfortable fit for the Toklat English 3 1/2" Uxeter Kimberwick.
