Snaffle bits are commonly used throughout the equestrian world. These bits consist of a simple design that does not incorporate leverage and works by applying direct pressure to the horse's mouth. They have a straight or jointed mouthpiece and a bit ring on either side. Snaffle bits are generally considered to be the mildest type of bit, making them an excellent option for young, inexperienced, or sensitive horses. There are many different variations of snaffle bits available, including Eggbutt, Loose Ring, D-ring, and Full Cheek.
