Key Features

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.
From a trusted name with proven performance, the Korsteel® Soft Rubber Mouth Dee Ring Snaffle Bit offers a comfortable natural rubber cover to encourage bit acceptance and promote sensitivity without harsh metal edges. The single-jointed mouthpiece applies specific pressure to the tongue, lips and bars of the horse's mouth when the reins are engaged.
The traditional dee ring cheek piece gives this bit a classic finish suitable for several English disciplines and the Korsteel® brand offers the finest hand-polished stainless steel for maximum luster and brilliance and classic cast construction for precise balance and performance.

Comments: I use this bit when lunging my horse in the surcingle and side reins and he likes it very much. I can hear him chewing on the rubber, which assures me that he is very comfortable having this bit in his mouth. The rubber holds up well too, there is no sign of wear. My horse has a small mouth, so it’s perfect for his palate. I have even used it on my pony too and she liked it also!
