Loose Ring Cupric Double Broken
By ÁSTUND
Why we love it…
This the modern version of one of our go to basic loose ring snaffles for training and showing. It is a three piece snaffle made out of cupric metal attached to steel rings. We love the small size and cylindrical shape of the middle piece, because that offers a smoother and softer experience for the horse. Also notice the angling of the side pieces of the bit, the curve is designed to better fit the shape of the horses mouth and offer slight tongue release. In general, the horses seem to appreciate the double broken snaffle over the single broken making this one of our most popular bits.
Sizes: 10.5cm, 11cm
Consider this…
We cannot stress enough that you need to be familiar with the inside of your horse’s mouth and develop a long term relationship with an equine veterinary dentist. Check your horse´s mouth daily after riding to insure that sores are not developing. Although sores are generally caused by rough riding, that is not always the case. Some horses may have extremely sensitive mouths or a tendency to bite their checks. These horses might even need to be ridden in alternative equipment (this is especially true if they have a history of sores and have developed scar tissue). Some horses need to be ridden only in certain types or sizes of bits. Very often here in the states we see people place bits that are way too long in their horses mouths. Some horses need their bit changed daily. We like to keep a variety of bits in rotation and monitor our horses closely. Your horse’s welfare should always be top priority. It is important to be aware of your individual horse’s needs when selecting bits.
