Description

This bit has a chain type mouthpiece which has ball shaped links. All parts of the mouthpiece are moveable. The Waterford Loose Ring Bradoon Snaffle is ideal for horses who try to lean or pull on the bit; if the horse tries to lean on the bit it collapses and therefore does not give the horse anything to lean on. The Waterford Loose Ring Bradoon mouthpiece has many links which can result in the bit having a severe action on the horse's mouth as it distrubutes pressure over the tongue and bars of the mouth.

The Loose Ring of the Waterford helps to stop the horse leaning on the bit as it enables the rider to move the bit round in the horses mouth; this also helps to encourage the horse to relax through the jaw. The Korsteel Waterford Loose Ring Bradoon Snaffle is made from Stainless Steel.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of mouthpiece does the Korsteel Waterford Loose Ring Bradoon have?
It has a chain-type mouthpiece made up of ball-shaped links. All parts of the mouthpiece are moveable, meaning the bit collapses when pressure is applied rather than offering a fixed surface.
Why is the Waterford mouthpiece considered suitable for horses that lean or pull?
Because all the links are moveable, the mouthpiece collapses when a horse tries to lean on it, giving the horse nothing solid to push against. This discourages leaning and pulling behaviour.
How does the loose ring contribute to the bit's action?
The loose ring allows the rider to move the bit around in the horse's mouth, which helps discourage leaning and also encourages the horse to relax through the jaw.
Is this bit considered mild or severe in its action?
The description notes that the many links of the Waterford mouthpiece can result in a severe action, as pressure is distributed over both the tongue and the bars of the mouth. Riders should consider this when assessing suitability 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 for use in a double bridle?
Yes - it is a bradoon, which is the snaffle component used alongside a curb bit in a double bridle setup.
