Stubben Loose Ring Snaffle

Quick Contact Loose Ring Snaffle 

Benefits of a double broken snaffle:

  • No pressure on the palate
  • Balanced weight distribution on tongue and jaw
  • Horses can easily be ridden on the bit
  • No nutcracker-effect
  • More forgiving to mistakes caused by a rider’s strong hand or pulling on the reins

Benefits of Sweet Copper:

  • Better acceptance because it encourages the horse to chew, thus enhances the saliva production
  • The delicate sweet taste of the middle piece (SWEET COPPER LINK) encourages horses to salivate because their taste buds are situated in the centre of the tongue
  • Massive copper composition (90% Copper, 7% Iron + Aluminum, No Nickel) with very high strength (stronger than Argentan)
  • Horses feel good with Sweet Copper

Benefits of a Loose Ring snaffle:

  • The free sliding rings of the Loose Ring Snaffle enable the horse to adjust the position of the bit in his mouth. This tends to make the horse relax his jaw and chew the bit, thus encouraging the horse to accept the bit
  • When picking up the reins the rings move so that the bit is automatically positioned correctly
  • Young horses or inexperienced riders should always gain experience with a loose ring snaffle before trying out a D-Ring Bit or other bits

Stubben STEELtec quality:

  • No rough edges
  • Long durability is achieved by using stainless steel for all lateral mouth pieces
  • Bit holes and link pieces don’t wear out as fast

30 Day Trial Terms & Conditions – UK & NI

The trial fee varies per product as this price is related to the retail price.

  • Please take care of the bit, as it is the customer’s – (the holder of the account that the bit is purchased on) responsibility to make sure that the bit is kept in good condition throughout the trial period and thereafter. The customer is also responsible that the bit is kept safe from theft and loss as without return of the bit no refund will be issued.
  • It is recommended that the bits are returned via a tracked postal facility as The Horse Bit Shop cannot be held responsible for any loss or damage in the post when being returned.

  • Normal wear is accepted on returned bits however we ask that they be returned clean and dry and fit for purpose.  Bits should not be put in the dishwasher or cleaned with abrasive material as this can damage the material.
  • The 30 day trial is not available on every bit.  Any item that does not allow you to select the ‘With 30 day trial’ option is purchase only.

  • On occasion we offer trials on other items (not bits).  The terms and conditions remain the same.

  • For other countries where shipping times are longer, the trial period will be increased to a maximum of 36 days according to the current postal delivery times. The 36 day trial period will commence from the date that The Horse Bit Shop posts the bit.  This will be the date of the email automatically sent to advise dispatch.
