Mouthpiece

Double jointed

The double jointed mouthpiece is one of the most common mouthpieces on the market. This mouthpiece has two joints, is shaped more towards the mouth, and lies somewhat looser in the horse's mouth. This bit exerts pressure on the tongue, the bars, and the corners of the mouth. This bit should not be used on horses with narrow lower jaws. The hinge points can press on the bars, which can lead to sores. Compared to a single jointed bit, this bit exerts more pressure on the tongue.

Cheek piece

Loose ring snaffle

A freely moving ring characterizes a loose ring snaffle. A movable ring means greater mobility of the bit in the mouth. The Stübben STEELtec Silver Wings Loose Ring Snaffle, double jointed, is therefore a bit for horses that prefer a more "mobile" bit in their mouth.
