Loose ring Straight rubber bit - Waldhausen

The Waldhausen rubber mullen mouth loose ring snaffle bit is suitable for horses that tend to avoid contact or require greater comfort in the mouth. It may also benefit horses with a sensitive or flat palate.

Its flexible mullen mouthpiece distributes pressure more evenly across the tongue and bars than a jointed mouthpiece. It provides symmetrical contact and may encourage the horse to accept a steadier connection with the rider's hand.

Rubber provides a soft, slightly flexible contact, particularly suitable for horses sensitive to metal mouthpieces. Its flexibility may help improve bit acceptance and encourage a more progressive contact.

The loose rings allow the mouthpiece to retain some mobility within the horse's mouth. They provide a less fixed contact than eggbutt rings and follow subtle rein adjustments.

Rubber: Rubber is a flexible material that provides a softer contact than metal in the horse's mouth. It can help encourage contact and bit acceptance, particularly in young horses or those sensitive to metal mouthpieces. This material is vulnerable to chewing damage and requires regular inspection.

Warning: This material is vulnerable and is not covered by the manufacturer's warranty against wear caused by chewing. Using a severely damaged bit is strongly discouraged, as it may injure the horse's bars, tongue and palate.
