Neue Schule Demi Anky 70mm Loose Ring Snaffle 14MM graphic ts Smoothed and darkened edges seal Smoothed and darkened edges seal the collars and leashes and finish the look Transparent Sole Demi Anky Bradoon although single jointed this bit is ergonomically designed to eradicate the nutcracker action and consequent problems that the traditional straight armed single jointed snaffle often causes The cleverly curved mouthpiece prevents it from moving too far forwards in the mouth reducing pressure on the thinner more sensitive part of the tongue It sweeps slightly away from the corner of the lip to lessen any chance of rubbing and the curvature down towards the bars achieves a gentle more even weight bearing surface This design is very beneficial for horses that back off or only offer an intermittent contact or for the very rare occasion when a horse does not find a lozenge comfortable
