Reinsman Traditional Loose Ring Snaffle Bit, 3/8 in, 5 in Mouth, Copper

When looking for a twisted snaffle this bit should come to mind. The combination of the slightly weighted ring with a 3/8 in twisted snaffle makes this bit perfectly balanced for training and every day riding. The weight of the ring increases feel for both the horse and rider, giving the horse pre-signals to rein cues for clearer communication. Copper tastes sour to the horse (similar to a green apple) and will increase salivation. This makes the bit more comfortable for the horse and leads to a relaxed jaw and a more supple mouth. Copper is a soft metal, check for signs of excessive wear before each use. 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.
