Frequently Asked Questions
What problem does the Turnado joint design solve compared to standard single-jointed snaffles?
Standard single-jointed bits have a production-related characteristic where one part of the mouthpiece is longer than the other, resulting in stronger influence on one tongue edge. The Turnado joint is angled forward by 45 degrees to guarantee an even distribution of pressure on both sides of the tongue, avoiding this imbalance.
How can I identify the Turnado's angled joint on the mouthpiece?
The unique 45-degree angle is distinctly marked by a slightly abrasive surface created by sandblasting in the middle part of the mouthpiece, making it easy to identify and correctly orient the bit.
What is the mouthpiece thickness of this Full Cheek Snaffle?
The mouthpiece is 16mm thick.
What is the mouthpiece made from?
The mouthpiece is made from stainless steel.
Is this bit suitable for horses that fall out on one rein or drift when approaching an obstacle?
Yes. The full cheek design provides lateral contact, which is specifically noted to help horses that tend to fall out whilst riding or when approaching an obstacle.
How does the fixed mouthpiece of this Full Cheek differ from a loose ring Turnado?
The fixed full cheek mouthpiece allows direct pressure transmission on the tongue and lower jaw, whereas Turnado bits are also available as loose ring snaffles. The fixed cheeks additionally provide lateral guidance.
