Neue Schule Pony Loose Ring Snaffle with Lozenge

Salox Gold is a high-copper alloy designed to warm up to the horse's mouth temperature much faster than stainless steel. This quick warming process helps reduce resistance and encourages the horse to accept the bit more readily.

A traditional jointed snaffle can create a 'nutcracker' effect that puts pressure on the roof of the mouth. The angled lozenge sits flatter on the tongue, distributing pressure more evenly and allowing for clearer, more precise communication without that pinching sensation.

Yes, this bit is specifically designed for comfort and responsiveness. The combination of the warm alloy and the lozenge mouthpiece encourages a soft, consistent contact, making it a great choice for ponies that need a gentle but clear connection.

Loose rings allow the mouthpiece to move freely, which encourages the horse to relax their jaw and 'mouth' the bit. This movement can help prevent the bit from becoming fixed or static, which is particularly helpful for young or schooling ponies learning to seek a soft contact.

While regulations can vary by discipline and governing body, the loose ring snaffle with a lozenge is widely accepted in most dressage and jumping competitions. We always recommend checking your specific rulebook before entering the ring.
