Verdun Snaffle Bit Soft Contact

This high quality Verdun double snaffle bit is made of solid Cuprigan with stainless steel rings. Cuprigan is an alloy of 89% copper, 7% aluminium, 3% iron and 1% zinc. The material's oxidation process spreads a pleasant smell and taste. The anatomical design follows the shape of the horse's mouth, creating a smooth, even pressure distribution. The combination of Cuprigan's design and unique composition help stimulate chewing and salivation, resulting in a delicate bond with the horse's sensitive mouth. The bit has a gentle action in the mouth. The thickness of the canon is 16 mm and the diameter of the bit washers is 65x50 mm.

A Verdun bit has D-shaped rings that cannot rotate freely, so the aids have a more direct action. This type of bit is generally well accepted, as the canon is relatively fixed in the mouth. Thanks to the D-shape, the rider cannot pull the bit out of the mouth and the horse can be well guided; the bit is therefore also suitable for young horses.

The canon bit is in three parts. The central part of the canon lies flat on the tongue. This creates more pressure on the tongue than with a single bit. The thicker the central part, the greater the pressure on the tongue.
