Snaffle bits

Snaffle bits

Probably the best known bit is the single jointed bit. It has a joint in the middle, which acts on the lower jaw when the reins are pulled over the edges of the tongue.

The best-known variant is the loose ring snaffle bit, whose rings can rotate and slide along the sides of the mouthpiece. The loose ring snaffle bit VAQUERO is available in stainless steel and burnished iron. The sweet iron effect is created by natural oxidation processes. Precious rust is formed, which stimulates the horse's salivation. The bradoon VAQUERO made of stainless steel acts like a loose ring snaffle bit and is combined with a Curb Bit . The bradoon has smaller rings than the classic loose ring snaffle bit so that the rings do not collide so easily with the sides of the Curb Bit .

Shank snaffles exert pressure on the tongue and bars. The shanks ensure that the bit lies better at the corners of the mouth, allowing for a softer lead. The sideways effect of side pieces makes it easier to work out the position and bend. Rein aids can therefore be made easier to understand. Another advantage of the full cheek snaffle bit is that the bit cannot be pulled through the mouth.

The Kimblewick bridle at Picadera is a simple snaffle bit with D-rings. However, the mouthpiece is not installed in the middle of the side pieces , but further up. If the horse's head is too high, the reins slip downwards and the bit develops a small leverage effect, as with a Curb Bit. If the horse's head is too low, the reins slide up along the D-rings and the single-break bit acts like a single snaffle Baucher Bit .

The side pieces of the belly bit is B-shaped. The mouthpiece lies particularly quietly in the mouth as it is attached to the bridle via the short upper bars. This buckling also allows it to be positioned laterally. Another advantage is that the Baucher Bit does not sag downwards, as is common with other single jointed bits. It is therefore also suitable for horses with short mouth gaps. The Baucher Bit has no leverage, as it has no lower bar and therefore no counter-lever. Therefore, the Baucher Bit is also ridden without curb chain and does not affect the poll. At Picadera there is the single-broken Baucher Bits VAQUERO with flat side parts made of stainless steel and burnished iron. The Baucher bit INGLES has a smaller bit thickness and classic English, i.e. rounded, side pieces.
