Shires Loose Ring Copper Lozenge Snaffle

The Shires Loose Ring Copper Lozenge Snaffle (also known as the copper french link bradoon) is a highly popular bit. The copper lozenge snaffle is useful for horses with large tongues or small mouths, as the lack of nutcracker action helps them to stay more settled. The double joint is often favoured by horses as the lack of palette pressure makes the bit more comfortable and relieves pressure on the horses bars.

The Loose Ring Copper Lozenge Snaffle is very similar to the french link, but the smooth central lozenge gives a slightly more positive action on the tongue than the flat plate of the french link. The copper helps most horses to salivate, relax and have a more relaxed and supple jaw which helps control and communication with the rider. The loose rings discourage the horse from leaning on the bit.
