The Korsteel Weymouth Loose Ring Bradoon Snaffle Bit is designed for equestrian riders competing at advanced levels who utilize a double bridle setup. This bit provides precise communication and clear cues through its single-jointed design, making it an excellent tool for refined control. While it is highly effective for experienced horses and riders, it requires careful handling due to the nutcracker action, which may not be suitable for inexperienced riders or horses with sensitive mouths.

This bit is generally intended for higher-level training and double bridles, and is typically not recommended for young or green horses.
The thinner design is intentional to provide extra room in the mouth when using a double bridle, preventing overcrowding.
A bradoon usually sits slightly wider than the curb bit. Consult a professional or use a bit sizer to ensure a comfortable fit.
While it technically functions as a snaffle, its design is optimized for use in a double bridle setup.
No, just ensure the ring junctions are kept free of grime to maintain smooth rotation.
Check the bit size to ensure it is not too small and verify that your hands are not too heavy or restrictive.
Soak the bit in warm, soapy water to loosen dried debris and ensure the joints are fully cleaned, then dry and lightly oil if necessary.
Verify that the bradoon is the correct width and that the bit guards or headpiece adjustments are not pulling the bit too high.
To set up the bradoon, ensure it is placed in the horse's mouth above the curb bit. The size of the bradoon is typically slightly larger than the curb bit to prevent pinching at the corners of the lips. When installing, check that the bit rests evenly and does not pull on the corners of the mouth. For care, clean the bit after every ride with warm water to remove saliva and food debris. Periodically inspect the loose rings for smooth movement and check the metal surface for any sharp edges or wear that could cause discomfort to the horse's tongue or bars.
