Built-in bit guards prevent the lips from touching any metal, so the horse only makes contact with the soft synthetic material. The ultra-supple, flexible mouthpiece encourages chewing, relaxation, and a steady contact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe outer layer is made from a soft synthetic compound, free from toxins and designed for safe, daily use. Its smooth finish protects delicate oral tissue while the inner flex core gives just enough movement to adapt with the horse’s mouth. Horses that dislike rigid or metal bits often respond with greater relaxation and salivation to this material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe flexible, straight bar mouthpiece softly follows the natural shape of the horse’s mouth and avoids the nutcracker effect of jointed bits. Because it’s so flexible, it cushions rein aids and smooths out pressure, making it easier for sensitive horses to stretch forward and down into a comfortable contact. With a 20 mm thickness for broad pressure distribution, it’s especially gentle on delicate tongues and bars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith loose rings, the mouthpiece is allowed to move freely, promoting light chewing activity and helping the horse stay flexible and attentive in the hand. This increased mobility supports precise rein aids and keeps the connection soft and responsive throughout the ride.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIdeal for\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe most sensitive and sensible horses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYoung horses learning to accept the bit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRiders prioritising gentle, low-pressure aids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTechnical details\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Loose ring snaffle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMouthpiece: Straight, Ultra flexible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThickness: 20 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Soft synthetic coating with flexible core; stainless steel rings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCare \u0026amp; use\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter each ride, rinse the bit with warm water and dry with a soft cloth.
