Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes does the Korsteel Waterford Loose Ring Bradoon Snaffle come in?
This bradoon is available in four sizes: 4.5, 5, 5.5 and 6 inch.
Why is the Waterford mouthpiece recommended for horses that lean or pull?
The chain-type mouthpiece with ball-shaped links collapses when the horse tries to lean on it, meaning there is no solid surface for the horse to push against. The loose ring also allows the rider to move the bit around in the horse's mouth, further discouraging leaning and encouraging jaw relaxation.
Can the Waterford Loose Ring Bradoon have a severe action?
Yes - the description notes that the many moveable links can result in a severe action, as pressure is distributed over the tongue and bars of the mouth. Riders should consider this carefully and seek guidance from a qualified trainer or equine dentist if unsure whether this bit is appropriate for their horse.
What material is the Korsteel Waterford Loose Ring Bradoon Snaffle made from?
It is made from stainless steel.
Is this bit designed to be used as part of a double bridle?
Yes - this is a bradoon, which is the snaffle component used alongside a curb bit in a double bridle setup.
