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.
  • Rubber snaffles encourage green or sensitive horses to take hold of the bit.
  • Regularly inspect rubber snaffles for signs of wear or chew marks.
