Loose ring double jointed rubber - Waldhausen

The Waldhausen rubber double-jointed loose ring snaffle bit is suitable for horses that benefit from a soft, flexible contact, particularly those with smaller mouths or needing greater confidence in accepting the contact.

Its double-jointed mouthpiece distributes pressure across the tongue and bars, reducing the nutcracker effect associated with some single-jointed bits. Its shape follows the contours of the horse's mouth, while its slim profile helps reduce bulk.

Rubber provides a softer contact than metal and may help improve bit acceptance. It encourages progressive contact, particularly for 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.
