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. It is the ultimate everyday work bit. The Lock Up mechanism is the distinguishing feature of this mouthpiece: beyond a certain angle, the double-jointed mouthpiece locks and acts like a straight bar in the horse’s mouth. It can no longer fold in on itself, which prevents excessive pressure on the palate and provides a gentler action than a conventional single-jointed bit. The entire KavalBit range is shaped and finished by hand from an alloy of 70% brass and 30% German silver. Brass has a taste that horses readily accept and encourages salivation; the rings are made of stainless steel, free from unbound nickel, so there is no risk for sensitive horses. Corrosion resistance is excellent.
