Frequently Asked QuestionsIs the Bob Avila Snaffle versatile for different training stages and disciplines?Absolutely! The Professional's Choice Bob Avila Snaffle is highly praised for its smooth and effective communication, making it suitable for horses at all training levels and across various Western disciplines. It's an excellent tool to help develop softness, flexion, and responsiveness, and is particularly beneficial for horses transitioning from a snaffle to a bridle, laying a strong foundation for future training.What is the mouthpiece design and material, and how does it encourage responsiveness?The Bob Avila Snaffle often features mouthpieces made from materials like sweet iron. Sweet iron is designed to rust when exposed to moisture, which intentionally creates a sweet taste in the horse's mouth. This unique property encourages salivation, keeping the horse's mouth moist and making them more responsive and supple to the bit's cues.How does this snaffle influence a horse's head carriage and offer control?This snaffle effectively influences your horse by applying pressure on the tongue, bars, and corners of the mouth. Its design helps to provide a consistent signal. While a snaffle primarily works in the mouth, this specific snaffle's balanced action aids in achieving a desirable frame and enhanced control.Is the Professional's Choice Bob Avila Snaffle legal for show ring competition?Yes!
