The Bradoon Bit – The Snaffle Bit for Double Bridles or Full Bridles
A bradoon bit is a small ringed snaffle bit that fits in the top bit position of a double bridle, sitting above a Weymouth bit on an English dressage bridle or Saddleseat bridle.
The bradoon bit, like other snaffles, is a direct pressure bit, mostly providing pressure on the corners and lips of the horse’s mouth. Unlike the regular snaffle, the bradoon bit has a smaller cheek ring, allowing it to fit above the Weymouth bit on a double bridle.
Available in many materials, the bradoon snaffle is commonly found in stainless steel, copper and SENSOGAN.
As with other snaffle bits, the bradoon is available as a single jointed snaffle or in French link bradoon style.
Your double bridle may or may not come complete with a bradoon hanger, a leather strap to hold the bit in the horse’s mouth. If your bridle does not have one, a bradoon hanger may be purchased separately.
Whether you are a top dressage rider, saddle seat rider or a Morgan, Arabian or Saddlebred show hack rider, we have the bradoon snaffle bit you need to ride and show your best.
