Twisted wire snaffle bits are used on Western riding bits, barrel racing bits and English horse bits. The twisted wire tenders the tongue and corners of the horse's mouth. It is used to lighten the response when horse hangs heavy on the bit. The twisted wire snaffle bits should not be used for an extended time. Larger diameter mouthpieces including loose twisted mouthpieces are more gentle. Smaller diameter mouthpieces including tighter twisted mouthpieces are more severe. Styles of horse bits for sale include O ring, loose ring, dee ring, shanked snaffles, gag bits, and combination bits. Choose sweet iron, copper, or stainless steel materials.
