A quality bit from Horze that is milder than the commonly used English jointed snaffle bits. A popular bit, constructed of a stainless steel core and non-toxic high tech plastic, making it soft, flexible, gentle and comfortable for your horse. The unique apple scent increases acceptance of the bit for both young and older horses. This will not interfere with a horses palate and encourages relaxation. This is one of the most popular mouthpieces for dressage work. Made of synthetic rubber (apple-flavor/scent) and a stainless steel core. Like most English snaffle bits the primary action is the pull on the bars of the mouth. The jointed mouthpiece exerts a nutcracker effect when the bit is engaged, pressuring the tongue and roof of the mouth.
