Three-ring adjustable snaffle with an 18 mm double-jointed solid stainless steel mouthpiece.
This bit has an additional ring at the top and bottom. By attaching the cheekpieces to the upper rings and the reins to the middle or lower ring, you create leverage: the lower the reins are attached, the greater the leverage effect.

🐎 Why choose this product?
With a double-jointed bit, the mouthpiece consists of three parts, and the central part lies flat on the tongue. This creates more pressure on the tongue than a single-jointed bit, but eliminates the V-shaped pressure toward the palate. ⚠️ The supplier recommends this bit for horses that are strong in the mouth. Leverage multiplies the pressure applied by the rider’s hand: this is not a training bit for beginners, and changing bits never replaces proper foundational training.
🧴 Usage advice
Choose the rein attachment position: the middle ring for a moderate effect, or the lower ring for a stronger effect. Always start with the gentlest position. ⚠️ A leverage bit requires a restrained hand and is preferably used with roundings, which are mandatory in competition when using a Pessoa. Measure the width from one ring to the other, with the mouthpiece stretched out. ⚠️ A bit that is too narrow pinches the corners of the mouth; one that is too wide moves around in the mouth and knocks against the teeth. Allow approximately half a centimetre of visible mouthpiece on each side.
