Handcrafted loose-ring snaffle bit in brass and nickel 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. It is the quintessential working bit. 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, 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% nickel silver. Brass has a taste that horses readily accept and it encourages salivation; the cheeks are made of stainless steel, with no free nickel, so they pose no risk to sensitive horses. It offers excellent corrosion resistance.
