Take full control over the mechanics of your leverage bit setup with the Ovation® Euro Bit Converters. While traditional bit converters utilize a fixed, single-strap leather loop that forces a rigid, preset ratio between your bit rings, the "Euro" design introduces an entirely customizable, modular approach. By splitting the converter into two independently adjustable leather straps joined by a central stainless steel rein ring, Ovation® allows riders to perfectly tailor how much snaffle action versus curb leverage is applied with a single pair of reins.
Crafted from premium, supple leather with a refined flat profile, these converters buckle directly onto the upper snaffle ring and lower curb shank of Pelham, Gag, or multi-ring training bits. If your horse needs a softer touch with predominantly snaffle guidance, you can lengthen the curb-side strap and shorten the snaffle side. If you need quicker access to the lower lever action for a strong horse over technical jumper tracks, you can adjust the straps to prioritize the lower shank. Your single pair of reins attaches cleanly to the central metal ring, simplifying your connection without the physical clutter of dual reins.
Finished with low-profile, stainless steel buckles and clean keeper loops, these converters offer a sleek, European-style aesthetic that stays neat and flush against the horse's face. They are the ideal tack modification for show jumpers, eventers, and foxhunters who require the flexibility of a leverage bit but prefer the precise, unencumbered feel of riding with one set of reins.
