HorseChannel’s Online Bit Guide: Rubber Mouth Snaffle

Rubber Snaffle: The effect of a snaffle bit’s action is made milder when the mouthpiece is encased in rubber. The thick rubber material can be either pliable or hard. Some rubber snaffles include a faint taste that’s pleasant to horses. A few designs, created specifically for ponies, are available in colored rubber.

• Horses with light mouths often appreciate rubber snaffles.
