Description
This double snaffle bit is made from solid Cuprigan with stainless steel rings. Cuprigan is an alloy of 89% copper, 7% aluminium, 3% iron and 1% zinc. The material's oxidation process spreads a pleasant smell and taste. The anatomical design follows the shape of the horse's mouth, creating a smooth, even pressure distribution. The combination of Cuprigan's design and unique composition help stimulate chewing and salivation, resulting in a delicate bond with the horse's sensitive mouth. The bit has a gentle action in the mouth. The thickness of the canon is 12 mm and the diameter of the bit washers is 70 mm.
A ring bit is a bit with separate bit washers. This type of bit is generally well accepted, as the canon is relatively loose in the mouth.
On a double ring bit, the canon is in three parts. The central part of the canon lies flat on the tongue. This creates more pressure on the tongue than with a single ring bit. The thicker the central part, the greater the pressure on the tongue.
