Stübben STEELtec 1303 Fine Line Flex D-Ring Snaffle, 11,5 cm

The Fine Line Flex D-Ring Snaffle combines a flexible synthetic mouthpiece with robust stainless steel D-rings. The design of the cheekpieces ensures the bit sits quietly in the mouth, preventing it from being pulled through when lateral rein pressure is applied. The fixed rings create a clear framing effect on the outside, which precisely channels your rein aids to the horse and supports a steady, calm contact.

The mouthpiece material provides a soft contact surface, while the heavy-duty stainless steel rings offer the necessary stability and long-term durability. Furthermore, this fixed construction prevents any pinching of the corners of the mouth, as the joint between the ring and the mouthpiece is completely enclosed. This bit is particularly well-suited for riders looking for clear lateral guidance and a direct transmission of aids, combined with a flexible feel in the horse's mouth.

Size and Fitting Advice:
To ensure the D-Ring snaffle provides optimal support, selecting the correct size is crucial. We recommend using a well-fitting bit you already own as a reference, or accurately measuring the mouth width with a bit measure or a soft piece of string. Because this model features fixed cheekpieces, the bit should fit quite snugly against the corners of the mouth; the extra centimetre of clearance often required for loose-ring snaffles is not needed here. Please also keep in mind that even the softest material is only ever as gentle as the rider's hand; harsh or improper use can cause discomfort with any bit.
