This single-jointed snaffle bit is made of durable stainless steel with a sweet iron mouthpiece to promote salivation and keep the mouth soft. The "six" cheek shape offers a similar direct control of a ring snaffle with the addition of gag action. The removable curb chain offers an introduction to curb pressure. The stiff rope nose adds nose pressure for increased control. (Please note: sweet iron is designed to rust)
