Reinsman Snaffle Bit, 3/8 in, 5 in Mouth, Iron

Dee ring applies pressure to horse’s cheek on the opposite side of the face from the rein you pull for better flexion. The mouthpiece has many features to help control a horse. First, it is twisted to add some bite. Next, a three-piece breaks over the bar at an angle to contact new nerves. Lastly, the dog bone contacts the tongue for pressure to help rate and set a horse’s head. Golden glide bushings ensure smooth movement of the cheeks and eliminate any possible pinching. Sweet iron naturally rusts into a light patina. The rust creates a sweet taste for the horse and makes the bit more acceptable and increases salivation for a supple mouth. Mullen relief is used on all our snaffle mouthpieces which is a forward curve that creates even pressure across the bars and tongue to eliminate the nutcracker effect. Stage A bits are great for starting horses, training or maintaining steady contact. Aspects include direct reining, non-leverage loose rings and dee rings with mouthpiece Dia 5/16 in and over.
