Nothing feels better than a
horse that responds to a light touch of the reins. Here are some
snaffles that will help your horse develop that light mouth.
These high-quality
snaffle bits are hand-made by master bit maker,
Greg Darnall.
Note: These bits are arranged on this
page with the mildest snaffles listed first. Before ordering, you may
want to read Larry Trocha's Horse Training Tips newsletter which details
how and when to use the different types of
snaffle bits.
Specially
designed snaffles that produce good results
Standard Sweet-Iron, O-Ring Snaffle
This is the colt starting bit of
choice. The 7/16" sweet-iron mouthpiece is inlaid with strips of copper
to produce a taste that horses like. The O-ring and flange at the end of
the bars is a NO-PINCH design.
For
horses that are a little too heavy in the 7/16" mouthpiece, I suggest
the smaller diameter 3/8" mouthpiece.
For best results, use occasionally with our
German martingale.

Thin Smooth-Wire, O-Ring Snaffle
Highly
Recommended
This is my favorite schooling bit. Great to use when your horse is too
heavy in a standard snaffle. The
thin, smooth-wire mouthpiece offers increased sensitivity without
being abrasive. Used primarily for teaching better stops, collection and
flexion. For best results, use occasionally with our
German martingale.
Standard Twisted-Wire, O-Ring Snaffle
One or two rides
with this bit is usually enough to lighten most horses up. As soon as
the horse starts responding the way you want, go back to your regular
snaffle.

Thin Twisted-Wire, O-Ring Snaffle
This is what to use when youre riding a heavy-mouthed horse that
refuses to lighten up. It'll get good results with just about any dull mouthed horse.
The 1/8 diameter mouthpiece has enough bite to get the job done. The
horse should be ridden with this bit for several days or until he gets
light. Then, you should go back to a regular or thin smooth-wire
snaffle.
For best results, use with our
German martingale.
Thin Smooth Snaffle Gag Bit & Headstall
(Temporarily Sold Out)
This gag snaffle offers lots of control without dulling the horses
mouth. Unlike other snaffles, this one works primarily on the lips, so
you can keep the bars of the mouth fresh. This bit is especially good
for teaching the stop, and flexion too. For best results, use with the Headsetter.
