Feeling Loose Ring Single Jointed - Cyprium

Loose Ring

A loose ring snaffle is a basic bit with loose movable bit rings and is therefore quite loose in the mouth.
Depending on the type, thickness and material, a loose ring snaffle gets a sharper or softer effect.
It is important that the loose ring is not too narrow, otherwise a skin from the corners of the mouth can get in between.
If your horse does have problems with this, you can use rubber bit rings if necessary.
A loose ring snaffle is a good basic bit, suitable for many horses and riders.

Single Jointed

A single jointed bit has a hinge point in the middle that puts pressure on the lips, layers and sides of the tongue. A single jointed bit squeezes the tongue slightly under pressure and puts less pressure on the tongue.
A single jointed bit rises slightly in the middle and can sting the palate. In this case is it better to choose a double-jointed or straight mouthpiece.
A single jointed bit is a good basic bit, suitable for many horses and riders.

Cyprium

Cyprium bits consist of 90% copper and 10% stainless steel and are nickel-free.
The high copper content in Cyprium stimulates saliva production.
Because of this copper taste, the horse foams more and will accept the bit better.
