The Colorado Saddlery Stainless Steel Butterfly Snaffle Bit is designed for comfort to the young horse's mouth while teaching them to turn with only a light touch. A sleek snaffle design helps to stabilize the front shoulders of your horse. Colorado Saddlery's steel snaffle is a well-balanced bit that is great for trail riding or for starting colts into a bit. The sweet iron construction of this snaffle bit naturally rusts into a light patina. The rust creates a sweet taste for the horse and makes the bit more acceptable and increases salivation for a supple mouth.
