Waldhausen Cyprium Loose Ring Snaffle, single jointed, 11.5 cm

Gentle contact and high acceptance: The Waldhausen Cyprium Loose Ring Snaffle, single jointed

At the heart of this loose ring snaffle is the mouthpiece made of Cyprium, a high-quality copper-zinc alloy with an increased copper content (mainly red copper with a small amount of white copper). The alloy is also zinc- and nickel-free, making it well tolerated even by sensitive horses. Many horses accept the material very well, as it stimulates salivation and noticeably encourages chewing activity.

This bit suits riders who want to combine classic aids with a horse-friendly choice of material. The single-jointed design acts directly on the tongue and lower jaw, while Cyprium supports relaxed chewing during daily training in the arena or out on the trail. The loose rings made of stainless steel ensure long-lasting durability and good mobility in the horse's mouth. To fit your horse anatomically, the thickness varies by size: up to 12.5 cm width the thickness is 14 mm, from 13.5 cm width it is 16 mm.

Questions & Answers:

What makes the material Cyprium so special for my horse?
Cyprium is a special alloy with a very high proportion of red copper. Since horses find the taste of copper very attractive, the bit is often accepted more quickly. It motivates your horse to chew more relaxedly and produce more saliva.

Why does the bit thickness change between sizes?
The mouthpiece thickness is matched to the bit width. Up to 12.5 cm width the bit is slightly finer at 14 mm, while from 13.5 cm width the 16 mm thickness suits larger horses' heads.
