Solid, stainless steel rings. 16 mm thick. The nickel-free GOLD MEDAL bits are made of a special alloy that encourages chewing. As a result, the horse produces more saliva, the bit is more pleasant and the horse becomes suppler.
The snaffle bit is the most commonly used bit and is used for young horses as well as for further training because it is a gentle bit that still provides a sufficient amount of control. The mouthpiece can be hollow and light-weight or solid and therefore heavy. Heavier bits have the advantage that they apply a constant pressure in the mouth and prevent the horses from playing with their tongue. Snaffle bits can be single-jointed as well as double-jointed. The single-jointed snaffle is the most commonly used bit. The double-jointed snaffle bit is a popular bit as it optimally adapts to the horse's mouth thanks to the 2 joints and the lozenge.
