FAQs

What is the primary function of a Beval Loose Ring Snaffle?

It provides more leverage and poll pressure than a standard snaffle, encouraging the horse to lift its head and improving control.

Who is this bit most suitable for?

It is suitable for ponies and horses that tend to be 'onward bound' or have a low head carriage.

Is this bit dressage legal?

No, this bit is not dressage legal.

What kind of action does the mouthpiece have?

The single-jointed mouthpiece creates a nutcracker action, applying pressure to the tongue, roof, and bars of the mouth.

What material is it made of?

The material is not specified, but the color is silver.

How do I clean the bit?

Rinse the bit with water after each use to remove saliva and debris, then dry it thoroughly before storing.

What if my horse seems uncomfortable with the bit?

Check the fit and consider a different bit. The rider should ensure they have a soft and responsive hand.

Troubleshooting

Horse seems uncomfortable or resists the bit.

Check the bit size and fit. Consider a different bit if the horse continues to show resistance. Ensure the rider's hands are soft and responsive.

The horse's head carriage is still low.

Review the rider's hand position and rein contact. The bit alone may not solve the problem; training and correct riding technique are crucial.
