KavalBit 16 mm single-jointed full-cheek snaffle bit

Handcrafted snaffle bit with cheeks, made of brass and German silver.

The cheeks prevent the bit from sliding through the horse’s mouth and press against the cheek on the side opposite the rein, making turning much clearer. A bit for young horses and flatwork. The single-jointed mouthpiece acts on the bars and corners of the mouth, with a slight pinching effect on the palate when both reins are used together. This is the most widely used type of bit, and one that most horses are already familiar with. 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 promotes salivation; the cheeks are made of stainless steel, with no free nickel, so they pose no risk to sensitive horses. Corrosion resistance is excellent.
