Description

The Fulmer Snaffle is a single jointed bit with a nutcracker action that works on the tongue, the bars of the mouth and can have action on the horses palate. The Fulmer is a variation of a full cheek with loose rings and is useful for horses that need the added cheek pressure that the full cheek provides but prefer the loose ring style bit.

The Fulmer Snaffle is ideal for young and green horses as the bit applies positive pressure on the horses cheeks to aid in steering and also prevents the bit from being pulled through the horses mouth. The Fulmer Snaffle is a Loose Ring bit and is ideal for horses with a tendency to lean on the rein; the loose rings of the bit provide more movement than a fixed cheek bit and allow the rider to move the bit more in the horses mouth preventing the horse from leaning and grabbing hold of the bit as easily. The Fulmer should be used with leather keepers for security. The Korsteel Fulmer Snaffle is made from stainless steel.

Frequently Asked Questions
What action does the Korsteel Fulmer Snaffle have in the horse's mouth?
The Fulmer Snaffle is a single jointed bit with a nutcracker action. It works on the tongue and the bars of the mouth, and can also have action on the horse's palate.
How does the Fulmer Snaffle differ from a standard full cheek bit?
The Fulmer is a variation of the full cheek but uses loose rings rather than fixed cheeks. This means it retains the cheek pressure that aids steering and prevents the bit being pulled through the mouth, while also offering the movement of a loose ring bit.
Why is the Fulmer Snaffle recommended for young or green horses?
The cheek pieces apply positive pressure on the horse's cheeks to assist with steering, and the design prevents the bit from being pulled through the mouth - both of which are particularly beneficial when training young or inexperienced horses.
Is the Fulmer Snaffle suitable for horses that lean on the rein?
Yes. Because it is a loose ring bit, the rings provide more movement than a fixed cheek bit. This allows the rider to move the bit in the horse's mouth, making it harder for the horse to lean on or grab hold of the bit.
Should leather keepers be used with the Korsteel Fulmer Snaffle?
Yes, the Fulmer Snaffle should be used with leather keepers for security.
What material is the Korsteel Fulmer Snaffle made from?
It is made from stainless steel.
