Loose ring Flat barrel single jointed

Expert opinion : The Abbey single jointed with flat barrel is a fine bit that is placed flat in the horse's mouth. Unlike the double snaffle bit which acts on the tongue, the single snaffle bit acts on the palate and sides of the tongue. It is important to know that the palate of the horse is a sensitive area that should not be neglected. The Abbey flat barrel bit is slightly rounded on the edges of the barrel, which gives it a stronger action. It can be recommended for horses that are relatively easy to handle but not very sensitive in the mouth or with a hollow palate. The loose rings offer a soft contact to the mouth. They allow for a slight indirect contact compared to fixed rings, making it easier to play in the fingers and limiting excessive tension.
