A double-jointed loose ring snaffle is a widely used and frequently employed bit in equestrian sports. The action of this bit is relatively mild, making it a common choice for a young horse's first bit. The loose ring snaffle has round rings at the ends of the mouthpiece, which can move freely through the mouthpiece. These rings provide some mobility and help distribute pressure evenly. The round rings allow the horse to move the bit independently in its mouth.

The double-jointed loose ring snaffle is considered a gentle bit, suitable for young or sensitive horses. The double-jointed mouthpiece with tongue relief follows the natural shape of the horse’s mouth and has a flat center piece. This design distributes pressure more on the bars and relieves the tongue. The continuous rings allow the bit to find a neutral position in the horse's mouth. The stainless steel mouthpiece is completely odorless and tasteless, making it suitable for sensitive horses.
