The D-Ring Snaffle gets its name from the “D” shaped cheek piece that has a hinged cheek connecting to the mouthpiece. This allows more lateral control when turning and steering without being harsh.

Frequently Asked Questions About D-Ring Snaffle Bits

What are D-Ring Snaffle bits used for?

The D-Ring Snaffle bit is used for both English and Western horses as a popular style of bit that can come in a wide variety of mouthpieces. The cheek pieces are in the shape of the letter “D”, with a hinge connecting the mouthpiece to the cheeks.
