A snaffle bit is the most common type of
bit used while riding
horses. It consists of a
bit mouthpiece with a
ring on either side and acts with direct pressure.A snaffle is not necessarily a bit with a jointed
bit mouthpiece, as is often thought. A bit is a snaffle because it creates direct pressure without leverage on the mouth. It is a bit without a
shank. Therefore, a single- or double-jointed mouthpiece, though the most common designs for snaffle bits, does not make a bit a snaffle. Even a mullen mouth (a solid, slightly curved bar) or a bar bit is a snaffle.
