Description
The apple-flavored barrel will make this snaffle bit a favorite of your horse's. A quality bit from Horze, softer than most single snaffle bits used in English riding. A widely used bit with stainless steel rings and barrel is lined on the barrel with a high tech non-toxic resin, making it smooth, soft, flexible and pleasant for your horse's mouth. This bit, because of its double-break barrel, allows an independent action on each side of the horse's mouth. Irreplaceable, the apple taste encourages young and old horses to accept the bit. It will not offend the horse's palate, is suitable for more elaborate work, and is one of the most commonly used bits in dressage work. Like most snaffle bits used in English riding, the primary action of this bit is at the bars, in the mouth. The simple break of the barrel causes the bit to bend in a nutcracker fashion while rising inside the horse's mouth, putting pressure on the tongue and palate. (V shape). Because there is a joint between the two broken parts of the barrel, the "nutcracker" effect is less intense on this bit because it better conforms to the U-shape of the horse's mouth.Features:Double break bits allow more room for the horse's tongueApple flavor that promotes acceptanceSynthetic resin bits are softer on the mouth than regular all-steel bits.Suitable for all riding disciplines and stylesNon-toxicPerfect for all more elaborate workWill not hit the horse's palateTechnical description:* Contains nickel Horses with nickel allergy are rare.Thickness 18 mm.Washing instructions:Always clean the bit after each use. Detach from the bridle and soak in warm water. Use a small brush to loosen residue. How it works:Like most English bits, this bit's main effect is to exert a direct action on the horse's mouth. The mouthpiece exerts an effect called nutcracker on the horse, when it is in the animal's mouth, by putting pressure on its tongue and palate. (V-shaped) With the extra joint, the nutcracker effect is reduced, because the mouthpiece fits much better to the shape of your horse's mouth.
