Shires Jointed Mouth Loose Ring Snaffle Bit - Silver - 5"

A jointed mouthpiece encourages the horse to relax and accept the bit more readily by conforming to the shape of the mouth.

Loose rings allow for greater movement in the horse's mouth, encouraging the horse to seek a softer contact and preventing the horse from leaning.

The Shires Jointed Mouth Loose Ring Snaffle Bit is available in 4.5", 5", 5.5", and 6" sizes.

Measure the width of the horse's mouth at the corners. The bit should sit comfortably with approximately 1/2 inch of space on either side.

The bit is made from stainless steel.

Rinse the bit with warm water after each use. You can also use mild soap and water for more thorough cleaning.

The Shires Jointed Mouth Loose Ring Snaffle Bit is ideal for horses that tend to brace against the rider's hand. However, it may not be suitable for all horses. Individual horse preferences and training levels should be considered.
