Composition: Complete snaffle with 50 mm rings and standard 17 mm thick barrels made of German Silver (65% copper, 23% zinc, 12% nickel), a relaxing and solid alloy. Effect: this snaffle has an action on the horse’s balance. It causes the horse to rebalance and transfer its weight onto the hindquarters. The larger the rings, the stronger the embouchure. This bit combines jaw action and full cheek bit action, so it combines balance and steering. Tips: This snaffle requires special cheek pieces and can be used directly with two reins, with mouth loops or with four reins. Maintenance tip: Rinse the snaffle after each use to prevent residue deposits and so your horse doesn’t feel discomfort.
