KavalBit 16 mm double-jointed full-cheek snaffle bit

Handcrafted eggbutt snaffle bit, made of brass and German silver.

The cheeks prevent the bit from sliding through the mouth and press against the cheek on the side opposite the rein, making turns much clearer. A bit for young horses and flatwork. The double-jointed mouthpiece eliminates the nutcracker effect of a single-jointed bit: the central link lies on the tongue instead of rising toward the palate. Pressure is distributed across the bars, tongue, and corners of the mouth. 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 encourages salivation; the cheeks are made of stainless steel, with no free nickel, making them safe for sensitive horses. Excellent corrosion resistance.
