Classic Equine Tool Box Bit 4'' O Ring Snaffle

Sweet iron will rust when it comes into contact with (air) humidity; the surface rust tastes sweet and naturally stimulates the saliva production. This will cause the horse to salivate more which in turn encourages better acceptance of the bit. The rusting process (oxidation) changes the colour of the bit to a brownish-grey.

A beginning of this oxidation process may already be visible when purchasing a new bit.

These O Ring snaffle is a must for any horseman’s tool box. Loose Ring or O Ring snaffles are the most commonly used piece of equipment by horse trainers of all disciplines, for everything from starting colts to softening older performance horses. They work well when used to introduce a horse to a bit for the first time; teach a horse to follow his nose; lateral flexion exercises and training drills; establish proper head set, soften older horses; or teach collection.
