Snaffle Loose Ring Bit — French Link by Kerbl

The Kerbl Snaffle Loose Ring Bit with French-link mouthpiece is crafted from hollow, lightweight metal to reduce overall weight, making it more comfortable for the horse and easier to handle during riding. The 14.5 cm mouth size offers a standard fit for many adult horses. The French-link mouthpiece ensures even pressure across the tongue and bars, reducing the risk of pressure points often associated with simpler snaffle designs. The loose-ring configuration allows the bit to move freely in the horse’s mouth, promoting softness, flexibility, and encouraging the horse to relax its jaw and yield to the reins, qualities especially appreciated in general riding, schooling, or dressage work.

Usage

Target Species: Horses

Application: Used under a bridle for general riding, schooling, flatwork, dressage, or everyday riding sessions where gentle rein communication and flexibility are desired.

Method:

• Place the bit in the horse’s mouth as usual, ensuring the 14.5 cm mouthpiece sits comfortably.

• Adjust the bridle so the bit rings sit correctly by the lips and ensure the bit isn’t pulled too tight, allowing slight play for the loose rings.

• Use soft, steady rein aids to encourage relaxation, jaw softness, and correct head carriage.

• After riding, rinse off saliva and dirt from the bit, dry thoroughly to prevent corrosion, inspect for wear, and store in a dry tack area.

Frequency:

• Suitable for every ride, training session or daily work where you need consistent, gentle bit action.

• Inspect regularly for wear or metal fatigue; replace if any sign of deforming, rust, or rough edges.
