Its non-leverage, direct pressure design ensures that your cues are clear, straightforward, and easily understood, encouraging acceptance and improving responsiveness without discomfort.Can this bit be used for different types of horses or training stages?Absolutely! This bit is remarkably versatile. It's an excellent choice for starting young horses and introducing them to bit pressure in a gentle manner. It's equally effective for refining the training of seasoned horses, promoting lateral flexion, encouraging softness, and establishing a consistent headset.How does a "direct pressure" snaffle bit work?As a snaffle bit, it operates on a 1:1 direct pressure ratio. This means the pressure applied through your reins translates directly and immediately to your horse's mouth, primarily over the tongue and bars. There is no leverage, making it a foundational and generally milder tool for clear communication, helping to build a horse's confidence and understanding of basic cues.Is there any concern about lip pinching with the O-ring design?While the O-ring (loose ring) design offers flexibility and comfort, some horses with very sensitive mouths or conformation may experience slight lip pinching from the rings moving independently. To prevent any potential pinching, we often recommend using bit guards (rubber discs that sit between the rings and the horse's mouth) for added protection and comfort.Product SpecificationsSize: 3" O-Ring with 5-3/8" x 3/8" mouthpieceProduct Item Number (SKU): CEBITORSSReady to elevate your horse's training and strengthen your bond?
