The 2233 2in1 Loose Ring Snaffle double broken offers two levels of rein effect in one bit by switching sides. The double-jointed mouthpiece provides gentle, balanced pressure across tongue and bars, while the continuous rings allow the bit to return to a neutral resting position. A Sweet Copper center link promotes salivation, acceptance, and encourages chewing.

Description  

2233 Snaffle 2in1 double broken

The 2in1 bits from Stübben SteelTEC offer two levels of action in one bit. This is made possible by two differently processed sides, a rounded side and a more angular side for more punctual pressure. The 2in1 bits therefore offer a flexible solution for different training requirements.

A simple sign helps to keep track: If a + can be seen on the outside left of the bit on the mounting side, the more effective side is fitted. If this sign is missing, the softer side is fitted.

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

Buckling options and pressure distribution

  • Gentle action: If the round side of the bit is buckled towards the horse's tongue, the bit is used as a normal water snaffle. This setting is ideal for general daily use.
  • Selective action: If the more angular side of the bit is buckled towards the horse's tongue, a more targeted, selective action is achieved. This setting enables more precise communication with the horse and can be helpful in special training situations.

Mouthpiece

  • Consisting of stainless steel and SWEET copper centrepiece
  • Stainless steel is robust, tasteless and odourless
  • Better acceptance: The sweet-tasting copper is particularly well accepted by horses and encourages them to buy.
  • 90% copper, 7% iron and aluminium, nickel-free and particularly robust

 

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 whose mouth activity needs to be stimulated somewhat
  • for younger horses that are in training

Note on proper use

Any bit can cause pain if used roughly or improperly, and this is especially true for bits with leverage effects. The wrong size can also be painful for the horse. Please contact us with any questions about size and fastening, or read more about choosing the right size [here] and proper fitting.

Please make sure that you do not permanently use the stronger side of the 2in1 bit.

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. Two effect levels: one side is softer and rounded; the other is more angular for increased precision. A + sign on one side helps indicate which mode is currently active (when visible on the mounting side, the stronger action is engaged). Change the orientation occasionally to avoid desensitization of the horse’s mouth.
