Snaffle Bits

KW Saddlery

The purpose of snaffles is to train the horse for responsiveness at the mere touch of the reins." What if your horse will not listen to the snaffle? Most will find a more severe bit. When you understand it is not the equipment that makes your horse responsive, you will understand the folly in this reasoning. If you only change to a harsher bit, your riding stays the same, the horse will become accustomed to that pain as he did the milder bit. Now you are stuck in a cycle of finding a bit that produces enough pain that your horse will respond to your uneducated hands.
