The KY Rotary ball joint aims at providing the horse with supreme comfort and increase control at all times.

The 360-degree revolutionary ball joint gives results for both the horse and rider.

Unlike most bits both halves of the bit are of equal length, this allows even feel on the rein.

Control is enhanced by the 'Rotary" ball being placed in the center of the horse's mouth.

The action created by this enables the two sides of the bit to turn independently of each other in a smooth silent motion.

Invented by K. Nishimura. For many years riders have been searching for solutions to bitting problems. One principle aim is to achieve the control which is given by a jointed bit, but with less bulk and a smoother contact of the center joint with the horse's tongue. The full rotary movement of the Ky bit mouthpiece is not restricted like a conventional jointed bit. After two years of experiments and detailed tests involving numerous riders and their horse we are pleased to introduce the K.Y. Rotary Bit which we claim is the ultimate in jointed bits for the riding industry.

Perfect ball center swivel joint which enables the sides of the bit to rotate freely 360 degrees independently. This function helps prevent painful pinching of the tongue and lips and gives the horses a more comfortable fitting when the bit is in action.
The rider's control is improved due to the rotary bit fitting center in the horse' mouth because the two sides of the bit are of equal length.
