Mouthpiece

Double jointed

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

Cheek piece

Loose ring snaffle

The loose ring snaffle has two freely moving rings at each end. A movable ring means greater mobility of the bit in the mouth. The Stübben STEELtec Loose Ring Snaffle Double Jointed is therefore ideal for beginners and horses that are somewhat inactive in the mouth.
