Abstract: The invention relates to a horse bit (10, 210) comprising a shackle (20, 220) configured to be inserted into a horse's mouth. The shackle comprises at least one joint (30, 40; 230) and two side portions (50, 60, 250, 260), wherein the two side portions are connected by the at least one joint such that the side portions are pivotable to each other, and at least two eyelet members (80, 90, 100, 110; 280, 290) each having an eyelet bore (82, 92, 102, 112; 282, 292), wherein the eyelet members are interlocked with play via their eyelet bores to provide the at least one joint. Further, in a cross section in the range of one of the eyelet members along or substantially parallel to an axis of the eyelet bore a cross-sectional width (W1, W2) of the one eyelet member is larger than the inner width (W3) of the eyelet bore of the other eyelet member.

Abstract: The invention relates to a horse bit comprising a shackle (20) configured to be inserted into a horse's mouth. The shackle (20) extends along a longitudinal path (A) and has a first end (22) and a second end (24) for attachment of cheeks (120, 130, 140, 150). In a cross-section substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal path (A) the shackle (20) has at least one shackle surface region (30) comprising a linear or a concave surface profile section (32, 34).
