Show Jumping Bits Explained: The Swelham Bit Swivel Mechanism

Karl Cook explaining the Swelham Bit swivel mechanism for show jumping

Walking & Talking!!! Let’s explore one of the most unique features of the Swelham Bit — the swivel mechanism.

It’s a small detail that makes a big difference! More precision, more options, but also more responsibility for the rider.
