Various suppliers loose ring bradoon
Use in conjunction with a weymouth or as an eggbutt snaffle ideal for small ponies. The loose ring snaffle has rings that move and can encourage the horse to ‘play with the bit. The single joined bradoon has a nutcracker effect over the lower jaw. The french link has a double joint to ensure the bit lays flat over the tongue. This disjoints the nutcracker action as found on a single jointed bit. A snaffle bit whatever the particular design, should be wide enough to allow about 13mm (1/2 inch) on either side of the horses mouth. Bits that are too narrow will pinch, but also bits that are too wide will tend to slide across the horses mouth.
