Transmits pressure directly on the mouth via the rein. There is no leverage action.The loose ring snaffle-to encourage mouthing, is another very popular and very mild bit for good reason. It too has a simple join and the rings are able to move, as they are fitted into the mouthpiece.
A very good solution for these horses is a double jointed snaffle, which is similar to the single jointed snaffle, except for the fact that there is some form of plate in the center of the bit, causing the double join. The action of this bit is milder on the bars of the mouth and on the roof of the mouth, and depending on the plate used in the middle if the bit, can be mild on the tongue. It is a very good bit to use on young horses starting their education, as it encourages acceptance of the bit in a milder manner than with the single jointed snaffle. The shape of the bit means that it fits the mouth better. As a general rule, the flatter the plate in the middle lies on the tongue, the kinder the bit. (bigger surface area = less direct pressure).
This group of bits, when used on their own, operates using only the points of control within the mouth. These are the corners, bars, tongue, and in some cases the roof. These days the roof is seldom used for humane reasons. In general there is little flexion of the poll or the lower jaw, and in most cases the movement results in an upward or raising of the horse's head back towards the rider's hands. There is a huge variety of mouthpieces available.
Traditionally the snaffle had a jointed mouth, however in more recent times there has been a movement towards the linked and multi-linked bits. These give a gentler corner action and encourage mouthing.
