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® Waterford Hunter Dee Ring Snaffle Bit is an effective option for forward horses or horses that have a tendency to "lean on" the bit. The multi-link waterford design creates distinct pressure points along the entire mouthpiece that provide a sharper "bite" on the bars, lips and tongue to encourage a faster response when the reins are engaged.
The traditional hunter dee ring cheek piece gives this bit a classic finish suitable for several English disciplines, and is most popular in the hunter/jumper arena. The Korsteel® brand offers the finest hand-polished stainless steel for maximum luster and brilliance and classic cast construction for precise balance and performance.
