Product Description
Loose Ring Snaffle Horse Bit Stainless Steel Mouthpiece Copper Oval Link
The benefits for using a bean shaped link bit is it takes the pressure of the horse’s tongue.
It prevents the bit from performing nutcracker-effect i.e. hitting the roof of the horse’s mouth, and reduces the squeezing of the tongue.
One of the three most popular designs, loose rings are often used for training young horses, as the action is mild and the loose movement of the ring provides warning prior to rein pressure.
The loose ring is the most common bit seen at the lower levels of dressage and on junior horses in western riding disciplines. It is also seen through all the levels of eventing (especially in the dressage phase), and is a common bit for race horses and some show jumpers.
Oval Link:
Double jointed bradoons come with flat spatula links, like a French link snaffle, and with oval lozenges. In both cases, the two joints help to reduce the nutcracker effect of the single jointed snaffle, while still allowing the rider independent control over the two sides of the mouth. It also transfers rein pressure more evenly over the bars.
