Overview

The Waldhausen Copper Snaffle Bit, featuring a double jointed mouthpiece, is designed to provide balanced communication between rider and horse. Its copper composition encourages salivation, promoting a softer and more responsive mouth. The bit’s 18 mm thickness and 7 cm diameter rings offer a comfortable fit while maintaining effective control.

Key Features

• Double Jointed Mouthpiece: Enhances flexibility and reduces pressure points in the horse’s mouth.
• Copper Material: Supports increased salivation, aiding in relaxation and acceptance of the bit.
• Thickness: 18 mm, suitable for a range of horses requiring moderate mouthpiece size.
• Ring Diameter: 7 cm, providing stable rein contact and smooth action.

Intended Use

This bit is appropriate for riders seeking gentle and clear communication with their horse during riding sessions. It is especially useful for horses that respond well to copper’s encouraging qualities and benefit from the double joint’s pressure distribution.

Fit and Compatibility

Ensure the 7 cm rings fit comfortably within your horse’s bridle setup and that the 18 mm mouthpiece thickness aligns with your horse’s mouth conformation. Proper fitting is essential to avoid discomfort and ensure effective rein aids.

Care Instructions

• Clean the bit after each use with warm water to remove saliva and debris.
• Dry thoroughly to prevent any corrosion or tarnishing of the copper.
• Regularly inspect for signs of wear or damage to maintain safety and performance.
