Description
This snaffle has a central link encircled by five sweet iron metal rings; the link is at right angles to the rest of the mouthpiece.
The metal rings encourage the horse to play with the bit, stimulating salivation.
The sweet iron covering on the bit also encourages the horse to salivate which helps to soften the mouth. This in turn will make the horse lighter in the rider’s hands.
Although not severe, this bit gives the rider more control than a regular loose ring snaffle and utilises a mild gag action to promote the horse’s outline, head carriage and responsiveness.
The cheek piece is attached to the upper bevel of the bit ring while the rein can either be attached to the bit ring as one would for a normal snaffle bit, or it can be attached to the bottom bevel, thereby increasing poll pressure and creating a greater turning effect around corners.
