Waldhausen Loose Ring Snaffle, double jointed, 11.5 cm

A proven classic for subtle aids: The Waldhausen Loose Ring Snaffle, double jointed

The Waldhausen Loose Ring Snaffle, double jointed is an absolute all-rounder in equestrian sports and provides a reliable foundation for daily training across almost all disciplines. The double jointed mouthpiece is particularly mouth-friendly: it adapts perfectly to the natural shape of the horse's tongue and distributes rein pressure evenly. Since the bit does not stand up sharply when the reins are pulled, the uncomfortable nutcracker effect on the sensitive palate is reliably prevented.

The classic loose rings provide the bit with pleasant mobility in the mouth. They allow the horse to slightly adjust the position of the mouthpiece themselves through gentle tongue movements, which effectively promotes chewing activity and relaxation. At the same time, the flexibility of the rings helps to cushion an unsteady rider's hand to a certain extent. Made from high-quality stainless steel, the Waldhausen Loose Ring Snaffle, double jointed is extremely durable, easy to care for, and completely rust-free. The smooth, neutral surface has no inherent taste and only minimally affects your horse's natural saliva production.

Questions & Answers:

What does the double jointed mouthpiece do on a loose ring snaffle?
The double jointed design ensures that the bit lies flat on the tongue and distributes pressure evenly across the tongue and the bars. Unlike single jointed bits, it doesn't fold upwards into a point when the reins are used, which is why it is considered particularly mouth-friendly and is very well accepted by many horses.

What are the benefits of loose rings?
Since the rings can slide freely through the mouthpiece, the bit is slightly more mobile in the mouth than, for example, an eggbutt snaffle. This allows the horse to move the bit into a comfortable position themselves if needed. Additionally, the signals from the rider's hand reach the horse's mouth a bit more softly due to the slight delay as the rings slide.
