This is the only common snaffle bit that has no articulation. Instead, it features a slight curve and a medium port mouthpiece that creates a gentle action by applying even pressure to the tongue rather than the more sensitive bars and lips. The lack of articulation means that there is no nutcracker or pinch action, making these bits commonly used on horses with sensitive palates.The soft blue iron oxidizes easily, creating a warm sensation and sweet taste in the horse's mouth, helping him to accept the bit. Please note that the blue color fades with use, which is normal. The combination of a soft mullen mouthpiece and soft blue iron material makes this bit ideal for leisure riding or hacking on more sensitive horses. The absence of a joint means that this bit does not help with lateral flexion, which is necessary for dressage and show jumping.Measurements
