This short shank copper wrapped wire snaffle bit is a popular choice among horse riders and trainers for its gentle yet effective action. This bit features shorter shanks, which means that it applies less leverage on the horse's mouth compared to a longer shank bit. The copper wrapping on the mouthpiece provides a sweet taste, which encourages the horse to salivate and accept the bit more easily.
The snaffle bit is named for its simplicity - it consists of a two-piece mouth that applies direct pressure to the horse's mouth through the reins. The wire wrapped mouthpiece is made from a durable and lightweight material that provides a comfortable fit for the horse's mouth. The bit is ideal for riders who prefer a light and gentle contact with their horse's mouth.
Overall, this short shank copper wrapped wire snaffle bit is an excellent choice for riders who want a bit that is both gentle and effective. Its short shanks provide a mild action, while the copper wrapping on the mouthpiece encourages the horse to accept the bit with ease.
