BR Soft Contact Loose Ring Snaffle 12 mm

BR Bradoon Soft Contact 12 mm

A bradoon, also known as an under-snaffle, is usually used in combination with a curb bit on a double bridle. This bit can also be used as a loose ring snaffle when smaller bit rings are desired. This loose ring snaffle/bradoon has an anatomical design and follows the shape of the horse's mouth, creating soft and even pressure distribution. The BR Bradoon Soft Contact is made of solid Cuprigan with stainless steel shanks.

A loose ring bradoon is a bit with loose bit rings. This type of bit is generally well accepted because the mouthpiece lies relatively loosely in the mouth. The small rings leave more space for the curb bit. It is advisable to choose a bradoon that is approximately 0.5 – 1 cm larger than the curb bit.

In a double jointed bit, the mouthpiece consists of three parts. The middle part of the mouthpiece lies flat on the tongue. This creates more pressure on the tongue than with a single jointed mouthpiece. The thicker the center piece, the more pressure on the tongue.

Material composition: Cuprigan is an alloy consisting of 89% copper, 7% aluminium, 3% iron and 1% zinc. The oxidation process of the material gives a pleasant scent and taste.

Curb bit and snaffle attachment: The upper part has rings for attaching the cheekpieces and hooks for attaching the curb chain. The lower part has rings for attaching the curb reins. It exerts great force on the lower jaw and poll.
