Loading... Please wait...A gentle training snaffle bit with extra help.
- When a contact is taken, the angled Tranz lozenge rolls down onto the center of the tongue (the sweet spot) enhancing feel and responsiveness, leading to a higher level of communication through the rein aid.
- The arms are curved and in an oval shape, taking up less room in the mouth but with the same bearing surface for the horse's perspective.
- Dressage Legal.
- 8023- 16mm mouthpiece with 70mm rings (5"-6.5" in 1/4" increments)
- 8024- 18mm mouthpiece available in 5.5" only

I had my young warmblood mare in a standard thick, double-jointed snaffle, as I wanted a nice soft bit that she would want to stretch into. However, I found that she started leaning and snatching the reins. When she wasn't leaning on the bit, she was fussing and fiddling with it in an agitated way. I didn't want a harsher bit, but felt that perhaps it was taking up a bit too much room in her mouth and rubbing on her gums, or making her uncomfortable. I had the vet and dentist out several times to rule out any dental issues. I decided to try the tranz angled snaffle and found an immediate improvement. My mare is much happier in the contact and salivates nicely without the constant fiddling and fussing. I love this bit!
