KORSTEEL Jointed Dee Ring Snaffle Bit

A rubber mouthpiece is significantly softer and warmer in the horse's mouth, making it an excellent choice for horses that are sensitive to cold metal or have a tendency to be fussy with traditional bits. It provides a more forgiving contact, which can help encourage a horse to accept the bit more readily.

The dee ring design offers a stable, fixed position that helps prevent the bit from sliding through the horse's mouth. It serves as a practical middle ground between an eggbutt and a full cheek, effectively preventing pinching at the corners of the mouth without the bulk of full cheek arms.

Yes, the dee ring design is specifically engineered to prevent pinching at the corners of the mouth. It keeps the bit stable and prevents the cheekpieces from pulling through the mouth, making it a great option for horses with sensitive skin in that area.

To find the right fit, measure the distance between the corners of your horse's mouth where the bit will sit. Since this bit is available in quarter-inch increments from 4 to 5.5 inches, you should aim for a size that allows for a small amount of clearance on either side without being loose enough to slide excessively.

Yes, the combination of a jointed, soft rubber mouthpiece and the stability of the dee ring makes this a very gentle and predictable bit for training. It provides clear, consistent communication without being harsh, which is ideal for horses still learning to accept contact.
