The 2224 Bradoon / Loose Ring Snaffle double broken is designed for use together with a curb bit in double bridles. Thinner than a regular snaffle, it features smaller continuous rings that ensure the mouthpiece rests gently and neutrally in the horse’s mouth. The sides leave approximately one centimeter of space from the corners of the lips, allowing the horse to move the bit independently with its tongue. The double-jointed mouthpiece distributes pressure evenly over the tongue and bars, while the sweet-tasting Sweet Copper material promotes salivation and acceptance.

Description  

A bradoon is used in conjunction with a curb bit. The difference between a bradoon and a regular bit lies in its thickness and the size of the rings.

The continuous rings ensure that the mouthpiece always assumes a neutral position and rests gently in the horse's mouth. The sides are designed to leave about one centimeter of space from the corner of the mouth. The horse can move the bit independently with its tongue.

The double-jointed mouthpiece distributes pressure evenly over the tongue and bars. The sweet-tasting SWEET Copper is particularly well accepted by horses and promotes chewing.

 

Advantages at a Glance:

Effectiveness:

  • Neutral position in the horse’s mouth
  • Even pressure distribution over the tongue and bars

 

SWEET Copper Mouthpiece:

  • Better acceptance: The sweet-tasting copper is especially well accepted by horses and encourages chewing.
  • 90% copper, 7% iron, and aluminum; nickel-free and particularly durable

 

Suitable For:

  • Horses whose chewing activity needs to be stimulated
  • This bit can also be used for ponies as a snaffle bit due to its size

 

Note on Proper Use:

Every bit can cause pain if used roughly or improperly. An incorrect size can also be painful for the horse. Please feel free to contact us with questions about size and fitting, or read here for more information on choosing the right size and proper fitting in the horse’s mouth.

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. Use in combination with a curb in a double bridle configuration, or alone in horses needing stable, gentle guidance.
