2257 Waterford D-Ring Bit MAX RELAX

2257 Waterford Small D-Ring Snaffle Max Relax

A Waterford bit is a unique bit composed of a series of interconnected links. Contrary to popular belief, the action of this bit is very mild, as the individual links allow movement in all directions and the pressure is distributed very evenly over the horse's tongue, bars, and mouth corners. The constant mobility of the links ensures that no point in the horse's mouth remains under strong pressure for too long. This bit is particularly well-suited for horses that tend to lean on or block the bit. The constant movement in the mouth can encourage the horse to be more attentive to the rider's hand.

The small D-rings on this bit provide slight lateral guidance and stability. The stainless steel mouthpiece is completely odorless and tasteless, making it suitable for sensitive horses. The sweet copper center piece encourages chewing activity.
