The loose ring snaffle has rings that move and can encourage the horse to ‘play with the bit. The single joined eggbutt has a nutcracker effect over the lower jaw. Thicker mouthpieces are milder than thin ones. The flexi bit is made from a polyurethane material, which is light, and flexible. The rubber mouth bit is made from a tough and durable rubber. The sweet iron is a unique metal designed to encourage salivation and acceptance of the bit. As the metal oxidises it produces a sweet taste. The cyprium encourage the horse to salivate, therefore the horse becomes more responsive in the mouth. The jp (john patterson) bits are crafted with curved mouth bars that reduce the nutcracker action of a regular snaffle, they stop the bit from hitting the roof of the horses mouth. The curved mouth also allows room for the horses tongue and eliminates interference that a conventional bit causes. The pinchless bit is unique in that the mouth piece moves independently from the outside rings. The mouthpiece moves smoothly and freely, allowing pressure from the rein to occur only on the side of the mouth that is required.
