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

This classic snaffle bit has been the top choice of trainers and riders through the ages. The combination of the slightly weighted ring with an average size 3/8 in smooth snaffle makes this bit perfectly balanced for training and everyday riding. The weight of the ring increases feel for both the horse and rider which gives the horse pre-signals to rein cues and provides clear communication. Sweet iron naturally rusts into a light patina, which 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.
