Pony Ring Snaffle Bit, 4" Mouth

Ponies have smaller mouths than the horses most bits are built for, and a bit that's too wide sits wrong from the first stride. This one is sized for them: a 4 inch mouth and 1-3/4 inch rings, so it fits a pony's jaw and still gives you a clear, direct feel through the reins.

Nickel plating stands up to daily work and wipes clean after a sweaty ride. It's a sensible bit for a pony starting under saddle, and a smart spare for anyone who keeps a few ponies in the barn.

Highlights

• Pony-sized 4 inch mouth fits smaller jaws
• 1-3/4 inch rings
• Nickel plated finish wipes clean after a ride
• Straightforward ring snaffle for a pony in work

Good to know

• Rinse the bit after a ride and dry it before it goes back on the bridle so the plating stays bright.
• Hang the bridle by the crown, not the bit, so the mouthpiece doesn't get bent against the tack room wall.
• Check the mouth width against your pony's jaw before you ride, and step up or down if it pinches.

Toss one in the tack trunk as a spare before the next show day.
