Anyone have and use one?
So it’s a bungee cord attached by hooks to the bit?
Ouch. I did once ride a lesson horse that had started tossing her head, and pragmatic coach put a bungee cord on like this for about a month. What I noticed was that with the bungee cord on, the horse was unable to stretch to my hand and take proper contact. This was jumper lessons that were continuing alongside me learning dressage elsewhere. The horse actually had the ability to take contact and give a nice bigger stretchy dressage friendly trot 
that was of no use in the jumper world.
I didn’t like the bungee cords, and I realized that my hands had probably made horse toss head, so I was very careful there and after a month we discontinued them and horse never tossed head again.
I would never use them on a horse myself, now with what I know about bits and mouths and contact. Why put continued pressure on the bit that is your means of communication with the horse?

Seems like a training gimmick. What are you needing it for?
So many advocates for this little thing but I cannot get behind it. Literally a bungee cord that attaches the bit to the girth. I’d rather use draw reins where you have the option to release the pressure.
Edit: AND THE PRICE!! How can they charge $160 USD for a bungee cord?!
i dont’ like the looks of this at all.
I HAVE used the bungee cord that goes from girth over the poll when I was rehabbing a reactive horse. It helped remind him to stay focused…but never impeded his correct movement - he could reach down and out as far as the reins allowed him. It was only when he was trying to impersonate a camel that it came into play.
This rein rite device, however looks like it’s try to be draw reins but without the need for the rider skill. I don’t like it. IT just looks like a stretchy western tie-down…
So that is what that is called. One of the trainers that used to be at my boarding stable used it on a few horses. I love the video on the website showing the horse going behind the vertical the whole time.
Agreed! This is just a fancier version of a western tie-down. If you are looking for a training gimmick, there are so many better ones than this. 
Ugh! You couldn’t pay me to use this on a horse.
