The Loose Ring Snaffle with a Blue Steel Curved Elliptical Link is designed to promote soft, responsive communication between rider and horse. This snaffle bit works by applying direct pressure on the horse’s mouth without leverage, providing gentle guidance while maintaining comfort.
Mouthpiece & Action:
The curved elliptical mouthpiece features a central oval link that moves independently, rolling over the stainless steel core. This design distributes pressure evenly across the tongue and bars while avoiding contact with the roof of the mouth. The dual joints encourage the horse to relax its jaw and accept the bit, helping with collection and contact without causing discomfort. The bit uses tongue pressure to naturally encourage the horse to lower its head and move into the bit, promoting a correct frame and better overall balance.
Loose Rings:
The loose rings allow the bit to rotate and move freely in the horse’s mouth, encouraging softness and mouthing. Immediate release occurs when rein pressure is relaxed, rewarding correct responses and helping the horse develop trust and understanding of subtle rein aids.
Crafted from durable sweet iron, the bit features a familiar blue steel finish. When exposed to moisture, sweet iron oxidizes and creates a natural sweet taste, stimulating saliva production. This encourages chewing and bit acceptance, making the horse more comfortable and responsive during work.
Benefits:
- Gentle direct pressure without leverage
- Encourages softening and acceptance of the bit
- Promotes chewing and salivation for comfort
- Supports correct head carriage and relaxation
- Suitable for a wide range of training levels and disciplines
Ideal for riders looking to improve communication and responsiveness while ensuring comfort, the Loose Ring Snaffle Blue Steel Curved Elliptical Link combines effective design with materials that naturally encourage a willing, relaxed mouth.
