Personally designed by Chris, this signature 5" snaffle feature a unique fixed D ring snaffle. This special design helps to pick up the outside of the horse’s mouth toward the direction of the rein (unlike a snaffle whose D or O ring swivels and just slides across the tongue). The special con­tour of the mouth piece places pressure on the bars of your horse's mouth, not his tongue. It has been Chris' experience that this special bit design discourages a horse from flipping his nose out and encourages them to soften and bend at the poll more readily. Training snaffle features stainless steel floral engraved fixed shanks and sweet iron mouth piece with copper inlay. Available in a 3/8" mouthpiece, recommended for most riders or a 1/4" mouthpiece which is recommended for experienced riders or as a correction bit. Use of a chin strap with this bit design is optional, as it will not pull through the mouth like a traditional snaffle can. Bit does not include chin strap.
