Loose Ring Jointed

The snaffle bit creates direct pressure without leverage on the mouth. The mouthpiece of the bit acts on the tongue and bars of the mouth and the sides of the jawbone. The loose ring allows the bit to move within the horse's mouth, which encourages further softening and mouthing. When the rein aids are relaxed it allows the Loose Ring to distribute immediate release and relief from tongue and bar pressure, as the bit is immediately reset to a neutral position in the horse's mouth thus rewarding a correct response.
