Stübben STEELtec 2in1 Butterfly Bit

Stübben STEELtec 2in1 Butterfly Snaffle

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its widest point, making it a rather medium-strength mouthpiece.

For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is closer to 10mm to 14mm. Very large warmbloods, draft horses, and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

When choosing the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical conditions of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to check how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

The Stübben STEELtec development team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and function of bits. Today we would like to introduce you to the Stübben STEELtec 2in1 Butterfly Snaffle from the Stübben STEELtec range in more detail:

Bit Thickness

Side Piece

The Stübben STEELtec 2in1 Butterfly Snaffle is a special bit that should only be used by experienced riders.

Mouthpiece

single-jointed

The Stübben STEELtec 2in1 Butterfly Snaffle has a single joint in the middle, which applies less pressure to the tongue than a double-jointed mouthpiece. A single-jointed mouthpiece primarily applies pressure to the bars and the sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. A single-jointed mouthpiece is an absolute standard mouthpiece and very common.

Bit Material

Stainless steel

The most common material for bits is stainless steel. Stainless steel comes in different compositions and consists of steel and various metals. Steel, in turn, is iron that has been alloyed with carbon.

To obtain stainless steel, the steel is mixed with various metals to form different alloys. The most commonly used alloy for stainless steel bits consists of steel, chromium, and nickel.
