Eliminate the "noise" in your training sessions and achieve ultimate lateral clarity with a bit designed to reward every cue instantly. Whether you are starting a green colt or ref ining a seasoned performance mount, the Bob Avila Double Ring Snaffle ensures a soft, supple mouth and unmistakable directional guidance. Engineered for the discerning horseman, this bit bridges the gap between traditional direct-action snaffles and advanced lateral support tools. The innovative dual-ring architecture provides a unique "push-pull" effect that guides the horse’s nose with precision, while the weighted frame ensures a professional feel and a quick "reset" for immediate reward the moment pressure is released. Key Features & Specifications: Innovative "Ring within a Ring" Design: Features a smaller inner ring nested within a 3" outer ring to provide superior lateral control and clear directional cues. Sweet Iron Mouthpiece: Specifically crafted to oxidize and rust over time, creating a sweet taste that encourages salivation and a relaxed, responsive mouth. Enhanced Lateral Support: Delivers a dual-action effect where the outer ring guides the head while the inner ring applies gentle pressure against the face, perfect for teaching horses to follow their nose. Direct-Action 1:1 Pressure: Operates as a true snaffle with no leverage or poll pressure, making it a mild-to-moderate training tool ideal for Western disciplines like Reining and Working Cow Horse. Standard Mouthpiece Sizing: Available in 5" or 5.25" widths to ensure a perfect fit that prevents pinching while maintaining optimal positioning on the bars. Oversized 3" Rings: The large diameter provides increased stability over traditional loose-ring snaffles, preventing the bit from pulling through the mouth during heavy lateral cueing. Professional Training Weight: Optimized for use with weighted harness leather headstalls to ensure a quick release and instant reward. Frequently Asked Questions: Q: Why is the mouthpiece changing color or starting to rust?A: This is a natural and intentional process! The sweet iron is designed to oxidize when exposed to moisture, creating a sweet taste that horses love, which promotes salivation and a softer, more accepting mouth. Q: Is this bit appropriate for starting a young colt?A: Absolutely. This is a premier foundation tool specifically designed to teach young horses clear left-and-right aids by providing extra lateral stability and "push" that a standard O-ring snaffle lacks.
