Scourier Bit

The Scourier bit (also known as scorrier) is traditionally a driving bit for horses, but has found recent favour amongst riders, in particular show jumpers. The scourier has four rings, two of which attach to the cheek pieces and the other two the reins. The action is a severe squeezing action to the horses face when the rein is applied. It has a jointed square mouthpiece, that is serrated on one side to further increase the effect on the horses bars and palate. This bit is only suitable for experienced and sympathetic riders due to the potential severity of its action.
