Non-ToxicNon-Toxic
Bits that are made from non-toxic materials, unlike most plastics, rubbers, and metals, are a safer option for horses who need a gentler bit.
-
Increased PalatabilityIncreased Palatability
Bits that increase palatability often incorporate sweet metals (such as copper and iron) or flavored plastics which encourage the horse to salivate, relax their jaw, and accept the bit. They may be inlaid into the bars, be the roller or lozenge, or make up the entire bar.
-
Leverage PressureLeverage Pressure
These bits use indirect pressure that multiplies the amount of force exerted on the horse's mouth, nose, or poll. They are used by riders who have little to no contact or are looking for more finesse and control.
-
Direct PressureDirect Pressure
Bits that use direct pressure have a 1:1 ratio where the pressure exerted on the reins will be the same pressure felt in the mouth. They are used by riders who often have contact with their horse's mouth.
The JP Curve Korsteel Copper Oval Link Loose Ring Snaffle is a versatile option appropriate for both schooling and competition. This classic snaffle bit features a double-jointed mouthpiece with a smooth, round oval center link that applies balanced, moderate pressure across the tongue, bars, and lips of the horse's mouth when the reins are engaged. Copper encourages salivation and a soft mouth. The bars of this bit are curved to contour to the horse's mouth for increased comfort. The traditional loose ring cheek piece is popular among nearly any equestrian discipline and is a versatile choice for young horses and seasoned competitors alike.
