Waldhausen D-Ring Snaffle Bit, Sweet-Iron with Copper Inlay, Jointed, 12.5 cm

Waldhausen D-Ring Snaffle Bit - gentle acceptance for calm schooling

This Waldhausen D-Ring Snaffle Bit is a jointed snaffle with a sweet-iron mouthpiece and copper inlay, made for riders who want reliable acceptance during daily schooling and training. The D-ring design prevents the bit from being pulled through the horse's mouth, keeping it stable with every rein aid.

The sweet-iron material is a blue steel that oxidises on contact with moisture, forming a mild surface rust. This stimulates your horse's salivation, encouraging better foaming and a more willing acceptance of the bit. The added copper inlay in the mouthpiece further supports this effect, making it a practical choice for horses that need a little extra encouragement to relax their jaw.
