Our Snaffle is a popular bit due to the curved mouthpiece which
distributes pressure more evenly over tongue and bars. With the offset
centre link it will reduce the nutcraker action and pressure points on
the tongue.
The Corkscrew mouthpiece is grooved to offer extra
control over strong horses. The groove in the mouthpiece causes edges
that result in pressure points in the horse's mouth. The edges amplify
pressure on the mouth, especially the bars and tongue, and also act on
the lips. This offers the rider more control than a smooth mouthpiece,
and can help to prevent the horse from leaning.
