Various suppliers straight mouth loose ring snaffles
The loose ring snaffle has rings that move and can encourage the horse to ‘play with the bit. The mullen mouth is milder than a jointed snaffle as it will work more on the horses tongue than the bars of the mouth. 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 players on the straight bar will encourage your horse to mouth and exceptthe 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.
