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.

Manufacturer information

Mouthpiece

Single jointed

A single-jointed bit has one hinge point, which applies less pressure to the tongue than a double-jointed mouthpiece. A single-jointed mouthpiece primarily applies pressure to the bars and sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. The single-jointed mouthpiece is certainly the most common of all mouthpieces, alongside the double-jointed mouthpiece.

Sidepiece

Olive head

Olive head bits have fixed, oval-shaped rings at the ends. These provide a little more stability in the mouth, which means that the Stübben STEELtec Olive Head Snaffle, single jointed, lies more quietly in the horse's mouth.
