The 2283 2in1 3-Ring Gag single jointed offers two levels of action in one design, with a rounded side for gentler effect and an angular side for more precise pressure. The 3-ring cheek configuration allows varied rein attachment options, letting the rider customize leverage on the mouth and poll. The single-jointed mouthpiece acts primarily on the bars while the joint provides tongue relief.

283 3-Ring Bit 2in1 single 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 3-ring snaffle 2in1 offers various attachment options that enable individual pressure distribution and different effects on the horse's neck and mouth. The single jointed mouthpiece mainly acts evenly on the bars, while the joint in the centre relieves the tongue. 

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.

  • 3-ring: various rein attachment options to customise the pressure of the bit on the mouth and poll as required
  • 1st option: attaching the bridle to the upper small ring and attaching the reins to the large ring - slight leverage effect on the poll
  • 2nd option: attaching the bridle to the small upper ring and attaching the reins to the small lower ring - effect with slight leverage on the mouth and poll
  • ATTENTION: Lever bits should only be used by experienced riders.

Mouthpiece

  • Consisting of stainless steel

  • for horses that frequently pull upwards
  • for horses that become particularly strong before the jump
  • for horses that become partially uncontrolled

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.
Since this is a lever/gag type bit, rein placement is crucial. Using the upper (small) ring results in light leverage with minimal poll effect. Using the lower rings increases leverage and gives stronger control on the poll and mouth. Only experienced riders should use the stronger settings. It’s advisable not to leave the stronger side mounted permanently to avoid desensitizing the horse’s mouth.
