Loose ring single jointed with rubber - Waldhausen

The Waldhausen rubber single-jointed loose ring snaffle bit is suitable for horses that benefit from a softer contact, particularly those with smaller mouths or limited space for the mouthpiece.

Its single-jointed mouthpiece applies pressure to the tongue and bars, with possible palate contact depending on the horse's mouth conformation and rein action. Its shape and relatively slim profile help reduce bulk inside the mouth.

The rubber covering provides a softer contact than metal and contributes to the horse's comfort. It may help improve bit acceptance, particularly in horses sensitive to metal mouthpieces.

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 allow subtle rein adjustments while potentially helping reduce excessive tension.

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.
