Handcrafted loose-ring snaffle bit, made of brass and German silver.
The loose rings allow the mouthpiece to move in the horse’s mouth: the horse finds its own position, while the aids remain clear. This is the ultimate working bit. The Lock Up mechanism is the special feature of this mouthpiece: beyond a certain angle, the double-jointed mouthpiece locks, and the bit behaves like a straight mouthpiece in the horse’s mouth. It can no longer fold back on itself, so there is no excessive pressure on the palate, and the action is gentler than that of a conventional single-jointed bit. The entire KavalBit range is shaped and finished by hand, using an alloy of 70% brass and 30% German silver. Brass has a taste that horses readily accept and it encourages salivation; the sides are made of stainless steel, with no free nickel, making them safe for sensitive horses. Corrosion resistance is excellent.
