The 2221 Easy Control Loose Ring Snaffle, double broken adapts dynamically: under normal riding it behaves like a gentle double-joint snaffle, but if the horse pushes ahead on both reins, its mechanism creates a bar effect—giving increased control when needed while still offering a soft, forgiving contact.

Description

2221 Snaffle Easy Control double broken

The Stübben SteelTEC Easy Control bits become a bar when the horse exerts strong forward pressure on both sides. With a normal connection to the hand and as soon as the rider or horse gives way, the bit becomes flexible again and can be used like a normal water snaffle. This enables precise yet mouth-friendly aids to be given when necessary.

Thanks to the effect of the Easy Control bridle, horses often learn to pull back on their own as soon as the bit starts to work. The Easy Control bits should therefore be used for training purposes for a short period of time, whereby it should be checked regularly whether the desired learning effect has already set in.

The double jointed mouthpiece distributes the pressure evenly over the tongue and bars. The loose rings ensure that the bit always finds a neutral position in the horse's mouth.

Advantages at a glance

Impact

The bit becomes a bar when the horse exerts strong forward pressure on both reins. As soon as the horse or rider yields (on one side), the bit has the effect of a double jointed water snaffle.

Mouthpiece

Made of stainless steel
Stainless steel is robust, tasteless and odourless

For which horses is this bit particularly suitable?

for horses that become stronger in certain situations (e.g. in the field, when jumping, etc.)
for horses that pull strongly to jump
for horses that become too cautious with lever bits or similar

Note on proper use

Any bit can cause pain if used roughly and improperly. The wrong size can also be painful for the horse. If you have any questions about size and buckling, please contact us or read more here about choosing the right size and buckling it correctly in the horse's mouth.

Please note that the Easy Control bits should be changed regularly to check the desired training effect.

Size Guide

Measure your horse’s mouth width by placing a bit sizer, string, or dowel between the corners of the lips (at the position where the bit will sit), mark the ends, then measure the distance.

The bit width should be such that the rings rest just outside (or very slightly beyond) the lip corners—if the bit is too narrow, it will pinch; too wide, it will shift side to side.

For loose ring bits, allow a little “play” so the rings can rotate freely without pinching the lips.

When mounted in the bridle, the bit should sit such that there is 1–2 small wrinkles at the corners of the mouth (but this is not a perfect rule for all jointed bits)

The bit should lie on the bars (the toothless gap between incisors and molars) and not press into teeth or interfere with the palate.

Care Instructions

Washing
After each ride, rinse or wipe the bit to remove saliva, feed residues, or sweat. Use lukewarm water and, if needed, a mild, pH-neutral detergent or saddle soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the metal surface and reduce the bit’s longevity.

Drying
Once cleaned, dry the bit thoroughly with a soft cloth. Allow it to air dry completely before storage. Do not expose the bit to direct sunlight, and never place it on or near heat sources such as heaters or radiators.

Storage
Store your bit in a dry, well-ventilated environment, protected from moisture and temperature fluctuations. For best results, keep bits individually or padded to prevent metal parts from rubbing or scratching each other. Avoid leaving the bit attached to the bridle for extended periods, especially in humid conditions.

Guidance

Any bit can cause pain if used roughly or improperly. The wrong size can also be painful for the horse. Equal rein pressure activates the bit’s temporary bar effect, offering added stability and precision. Releasing the reins restores full mobility for gentle, responsive contact. For correct use, the bit should be employed with steady, even contact, not with abrupt or excessive rein aids.
