First, the olive bit has oval rings, while the Verdun is equipped with \u003cstrong\u003eD-shaped rings\u003c\/strong\u003e, which offer \u003cstrong\u003eclearer lateral support\u003c\/strong\u003e. Unlike the olive bit, whose mouthpiece widens slightly near the rings, the Verdun's cannon remains narrow at the ends, making it particularly suitable for horses with limited space in their mouths or a thick tongue. The risk of pinching is low in both models, but the Verdun is generally even more stable, as its \u003cstrong\u003eflat rings prevent the bit from turning\u003c\/strong\u003e or slipping in the mouth. This stability results in more \u003cstrong\u003econstant contact\u003c\/strong\u003e, which many sensitive horses appreciate. Lateral support is also more effective with a Verdun, as the vertical branches of the D offer a more pronounced stop. This helps the rider achieve a \u003cstrong\u003emore straightforward direction\u003c\/strong\u003e, while the olive bit provides more moderate support. Thus, the Verdun is ideal for horses that bolt slightly, escape with a shoulder, or lack straightness. In summary, the olive bit provides softness, stability, and comfort, while the Verdun bit adds \u003cstrong\u003esuperior lateral precision\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003ebetter directional control\u003c\/strong\u003e, while remaining a \u003cstrong\u003edirect action bit\u003c\/strong\u003e and not severe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen to use a Fulmer bit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Horse with limited space in the mouth\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eHorse sensitive\u003c\/strong\u003e at the corners of the lips\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eYoung horses\u003c\/strong\u003e or horses requiring stable guidance\u003cbr\u003e• Horses that bolt or escape with a shoulder\u003cbr\u003e• Discipline requiring clear direction (show jumping, flatwork)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUsing the Fulmer bit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Verdun remains a \u003cstrong\u003edirect action bit, without leverage\u003c\/strong\u003e.
