What is Unique About Snaffles with Lozenges

The lozenge snaffle bit is a double-jointed snaffle allowing the mouthpiece to lie flat on the horse’s tongue for tongue pressure relief while still applying pressure to the bars and lips of their mouth. Lozenge snaffles work independently on each side of the mouth. With various lozenge snaffle mouthpiece options such as an oval link, dog bone, or french link, you can choose a specific shape lozenge that works best for your horse.

There are different nickel-free alloy materials to choose from for a lozenge snaffle that can help promote salivation, which in turn can encourage a horse to accept the bit and relax through the jaw. These snaffle bits with a lozenge can be made from sweet copper or Sensogan, which is a mix of copper, manganese, and zinc, designed to have a distinct taste horses really enjoy.
