Snaffles
A snaffle bit is used in conjunction with a curb bit. The difference to a normal bit lies in the thickness and the smaller side rings.
If you do not like a bit, please send it back to us clean and unused, as long as it is a new bit and not a test bit. Please do NOT put the new bit in the horse's mouth, as we can no longer sell goods with signs of use.

Underlay bridle - why do you need it?
As the curb bit is only a support and should not be permanently in action, you also need the snaffle bit, which is mainly used for riding. If you were to use a normal water snaffle instead of the underlay snaffle, your horse would have a lot of metal in its mouth and probably not enough space. That's why the underlay snaffle is much thinner and has smaller rings than a water snaffle.
Single or double jointed?
Of course, there is no general answer to this question. Observe your horse and its reactions to single or double jointed snaffles. Single jointed bits exert a broad pressure on the tongue, whereas double jointed snaffles act more on the bars. So it is up to your horse to decide which bit you should use.
