This is a Stübben single jointed ring snaffle bit with a smooth 12.5 cm standard mouthpiece.  The large tapered diameter snaffle measures 5 inches wide (12.5 cm) with a mouthpiece that tapers from 1/2 inch down to 3/8 inch at the center joint.  This bit weighs in at a lightweight 12 ounces.  Stübben STEELtec products provide long durability due to the selected materials and also reduce rough edges that could hurt the horse's mouth.

The free sliding rings of the Loose Ring Snaffle enable the horse to adjust the position of the bit in his mouth.  This tends to make the horse relax his jaw and chew the bit, thus encouraging the horse to accept the bit.  When picking up the reins the rings move so that the bit is automatically positioned correctly.  Young horses or inexperienced riders should always gain experience with a loose ring snaffle before trying out a D-Ring Bit or other bit.

For more than 120 years the family-owned business Stübben has combined traditional craftsmanship and experience with innovations and superior functionality.  Stübben manufactures high quality equestrian products sold on all five continents and in more than 50 countries.  Historical experience and expertise, continuous communication with international top athletes as well as the processing of high-quality raw materials, guarantees the unique combination of functionality and design desired by todays markets.
