A double-jointed loose ring snaffle is a widely used and frequently employed bit in equestrian sports. The action of this bit is relatively mild, making it a common choice for a young horse`s first bit. The loose ring snaffle has round rings at the ends of the mouthpiece, which can move freely through the mouthpiece. These rings provide some mobility and help distribute pressure evenly. The round rings allow the horse to move the bit independently in its mouth.

The double-jointed loose ring snaffle is considered a gentle bit, suitable for youngsensitive horses. The Level 2 double-jointed mouthpiece is designed to exert slightly more pressure on the bars of the horse`s mouth. The middle piece lays evenly on the horse`s tongue. The continuous rings allow the bit to find a neutral position in the horse`s mouth. The Sweet Copper mouthpiece tastes slightly sweet and is particularly well accepted by horses, and it can also encourage chewing.

NOTE: If a horse tends to play a lot with the bit, a bit with fewer joints (single-jointed) is preferable. If the horse is calm in the mouth and more mouth activity is desired, a double-jointed bit might be better.
