Snaffle Bits
By definition a snaffle bit is a direct pull or direct action bit, meaning that when you are holding the reins in two hands atop your horse, you have direct contact with its mouth. Whatever you do with your hands, your horse should do. For example, when you move your hand to the left, your horse will feel that cue and realize that you want him to go that way.
Most trainers will start a young horse in a snaffle to gain the framework it needs to transition to a curb bit. Such a foundation includes lateral flexion, collection, transitions, responsiveness to leg cues and more. Again, this depends on the method of training the trainer uses. In the vaquero tradition of training, for example, horses are typically started in a bosal hackamore.
Best if used with an all leather curb strap to prevent the bit from pulling through the horse??s mouth, O-ring and offset D-ring snaffles are great bits for starting young colts, training exercises, introducing a new riding discipline or softening an older, more seasoned horse??s mouth.
Types of Snaffles (snaffles are usually a matter of preference):
|
|
|
|
---|---|---|---|
O-Ring SnaffleThese very mild, functional bits are typically available with smooth or twisted wire broken mouthpieces. The mouthpiece slides up and down the rings and moves independently of the rings, meaning that your horse can feel the movement caused by even a subtle rein cue. This type of snaffle helps keep the mouth soft and your horse responsive. Works on the bars, corners of the mouth and tongue. |
Offset D-Ring SnaffleOffset refers to the fixed position of the rings and how they connect to the mouthpiece. The straight side of the D-ring connected to the mouthpiece is designed to help prevent the bit from pulling through the mouth and to eliminate any pinching. The rings and mouthpiece also work independently of each other on this bit, making this mild bit great for starting or re-schooling a horse. Works on the bars, corners of the mouth and tongue. |
D-Ring SnaffleThe rings on this bit help prevent it from pulling through the horse??s mouth. Often seen in the English discipline but also used in western riding, it is another mild bit great for starting or re-schooling a horse. Works on the bars, corners of the mouth and tongue. |
Eggbutt SnaffleAnother bit commonly used for English riding, the name refers to the shape of the ring. It can come in either a straight or broken mouthpiece and is designed to prevent pinching of the horse??s mouth. Works on the poll and bars of the mouth. |
