Stainless Steel Loose Ring Dog Bone Snaffle Bit As a very general guide, you want to have an index finger's clearance.” For loose rings, the horse's lips should clear the bit ring holes by 1/8 inch on each side, to prevent pinching. If you can see half an inch or more, the bit is too big for this horse.Snaffle bits are generally gentler on a horse's mouth than other types of bits while still providing adequate communication. When a rider pulls the reins, the snaffle bit puts pressure on the bars, lips, and tongue of the horse's mouth. When using a snaffle bit, no pressure is applied to the horse's poll.A snaffle works by adding pressure. When reins are pulled, the pressure is applied to the area of the gums that have no teeth, called the bars of the mouth. This gap is between the front and back teeth, and a properly fitting bit fits comfortably within this gap.Stainless Steel Loose Ring Dog Bone Snaffle Bit Size: 5" Mouth.SS Loose O-Ring Dog Bone Snaffle Pony Horse Bit 5" Brass Mouth Equine 35521B
