The 2273 2in1 Full Cheek Snaffle double broken gives riders two levels of effect in a single bit by changing its orientation. One side is designed for a softer, gentler response, while the other side delivers a more precise, stronger action. The double-jointed mouthpiece distributes pressure evenly over the tongue and bars, and the full cheek arms provide clear lateral stability and guidance

Description

2273 Shank 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 shanks provide clear lateral stabilisation and guidance and ensure that the bit remains steady in the horse's mouth. Due to the small bridle rings, the effect of this bit is more direct.

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 that could show a little more mouth activity
particularly suitable for show jumpers
for horses that require good lateral stability

Instructions for 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.
Because this is a 2-in-1 bit, its effect depends on how you mount it. If the rounded side faces the tongue, the action is milder, similar to a standard snaffle. If the angular side faces the tongue, the bit becomes more precise and expressive. Always adjust your hands and aids accordingly, and change the mounting side occasionally to prevent desensitization of the horse’s mouth.
