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.
The classic design of the exclusive Stübben Steeltec Loose Ring Snaffle Bit contains reliable material and construction which is paired with the traditional loose ring rein action appropriate for nearly any riding discipline!
The ergonomically shaped and curved center-link mouthpiece sits comfortably in the horse's mouth providing gentle, yet effective contact and control without the "nutcracker" effect of traditional single-jointed snaffle mouthpieces.

Previous Feedback
Comments: My horse loves this bit! He has become so much more willing to accept the contact. He chews and salivates so much more compare to when I was using my old bit that didn't have the copper mouth piece. This is overall a great bit!
