Reinsman by Circle Y Reinsman Twisted Copper Light Loose Ring Snaffle Bit The Reinsman Twisted Copper Light Loose Ring Snaffle Bit is highly favored by trainers and riders for fine-tuning and softening experienced horses. It's a Stage E bit, making it an ideal choice for horses that need clearer signals. This light loose ring snaffle bit is designed for direct reining with two hands and has non-leverage rings. The 3-inch stainless steel rings are constructed to be lighter weight, reducing the amount of poll pressure during use. The mouthpiece is 5 inches wide with a 1/4" diameter and is made of twisted copper. The mullen relief design of the mouthpiece ensures even pressure across the bars and tongue, eliminating the nutcracker effect. The twisted copper of the mouthpiece naturally encourages salivation, promoting a supple mouth response. Curb straps are essential add-ons that help prevent the bit from rotating or pulling through the horse's mouth when pressure is applied. Leather, nylon, and biothane curb straps are available to purchase. When attaching the curb strap to the snaffle, it should be located between the mouthpiece and rein bit ends.
