FAQs
What is a Beval snaffle?
A Beval snaffle, also known as a wilkie or loop ring snaffle, is a type of bit that provides increased leverage and poll pressure compared to a standard snaffle.
What horses is this bit suitable for?
This bit is ideal for ponies and horses that tend to be overly eager or carry their heads low.
Is this bit dressage legal?

How does the bit work?
