The bit is part of the gear that makes up the bridle that the horse wears around its head. Along with the reins, the rider uses the bit to communicate with the horse using strategic pulls. These signals tell the horse what the rider wants.
A snaffle bit is an English horse bit that sits in the horse's mouth. This mouthpiece may be solid or made up of two or three pieces. Snaffle bits are generally gentler on a horse's mouth than other types of bits while still providing adequate communication.
When a rider pulls the reins, the snaffle bit puts pressure on the bars, lips, and tongue of the horse's mouth. When using a snaffle bit, no pressure is applied to the horse's poll. Stainless Steel with Copper Mouth. 3" Ring
