Appearance: The D-ring or Dee Ring snaffle is so named for the D shaped rings. This bit has a jointed mouthpiece. This is a pony sized bit.
Uses: This bit is commonly used on both English riding and race horses.
How it Works: The straight bars on the Ds help prevent the bit from pulling through the mouth. The jointed mouthpiece has a nutcracker effect on the bars, tongue and palate. This bit is very similar in function to a jointed full-cheek snaffle.
