Stubben 1301 Fine Line Flex Loose Ring Snaffle

The 1301 Fine Line Flex Loose Ring Snaffle`s mouthpiece is made from flexible, food-grade PU, offering a warmer feel in the mouth even at lower temperatures. A concealed metal core ensures break-resistance and security. The anatomically shaped mouthpiece follows the natural line of the horse’s mouth, lying evenly across the tongue and bars while a slight tongue relief reduces pressure. The loose rings allow free mobility and self-positioning of the bit, encouraging the horse to gently play with the mouthpiece and promoting acceptance. If you already have a bit that fits your horse well, you can use it as a reference for choosing the correct size.

If not, measure your horse’s mouth width by placing a bit sizer or a soft cord/string in the mouth 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” (1cm on one side) so the rings can rotate freely without pinching the lips.
