Horze Apple Snaffle Bit, Double-Jointed

An apple-flavored mouthpiece will make this loose ring snaffle your horse’s favorite.

A quality bit from Horze that is milder than the commonly used English jointed snaffle bits. This is a popular bit, constructed of a stainless steel core and non-toxic high tech plastic, making it soft, flexible, gentle and comfortable for your horse. The double-jointed mouthpiece provides independent action on each side of the horse’s mouth. The unique apple scent increases acceptance of the bit for both young and older horses. This will not interfere with a horse’s palate, is great for advanced training and is one of the most popular mouthpieces for dressage work. Like most English snaffle bits the primary action is the pull on the bars of the mouth. The single jointed mouthpiece exerts a nutcracker effect when the bit is engaged, pressuring the tongue and roof of the mouth. (V shape) Due to the extra joint, the nutcracker effect is reduced because they conform better to the horse’s U shaped mouth.
