To me: Irish martingale - to seller "leather lose ring bit"

Well thats just truly bizarre!
I expected to read on the description as you sometimes do- selling on behalf of a friend or "found in tackroom" as in the seller's not 100% sure...But they do into detail and have proper detail on this!

Its an Irish Martingale to me too, But they sound quite convincing!!
 
I know leather bits do exist, but I would've imagined that they would be a bit rounder at the edges, or something.. but the reasons they give for using a leather mouthpiece are true, if you can decode the terrible translation
 
I'm going to ask a silly question now..
I no a running martingale goes from girth to rings on the reins and is to sop horses putting there heads in air

Were does a irish one go and does it do same job?
I can only thing it goes from rein to rein but I am not sure :S
Sorry to sound stupid

Not stupid at all, it does go from rein to rein. It is most commonly used in horseracing to prevent the reins from coming over the horse's head in the event of the jockey being unseated :)

It does go from rein to rein - I was always taught that they are used to stop reins from going over the horse's head in the event of a fall, so the horse doesn't get a leg caught. However, the seller of this item may beg to differ....

OMG poor horse if anyone buys it to use as they suggest :(

On another listing for an actual bit..

This simply broken set of teeth has one of the anatomy of the horse mouth felt tongue freedom.

How about:
The corner of the middle piece was turned around 45 °, with it the olive with the suit of the rein full on the tongue lies without squeezing. The sense of touch of the tongue is demanded by the new position of the lateral set of teeth parts increasingly by which the rein support of the rider becomes even more exact.
:D

Exactly!

And:
Such sets of teeth are accepted just by horses sensitive to mouth with pleasure.
 
I thought the use of the bit was thus:

when applying the fandango wine holder one must ensure the cardboard knicker grinder is running behind 15 men called Alan

?
