18mm Elite German Silver Peanut Mouth Snaffle with Stainless Steel Rings
18mm Elite German Silver Peanut Mouth Snaffle with Stainless Steel Rings
Soft on the Mouth. Precise in the Hand.
The Elite 18mm Peanut Mouth Snaffle is designed for horses that go best with a gentle, low-pressure bit. The thick 18mm mouthpiece distributes pressure broadly across the tongue and bars, making it an ideal choice for young horses in early training, sensitive horses, or any horse that benefits from a softer contact.
Crafted from German silver — a copper-zinc alloy prized in the equestrian world — this bit encourages salivation and acceptance, keeping your horse soft, relaxed, and responsive in the bridle.
Key Features
- 18mm mouthpiece — thicker diameter means softer, more distributed pressure; ideal for sensitive or green horses
- German silver (copper-zinc alloy) — naturally encourages salivation and bit acceptance; warm to the touch
- Peanut (lozenge) link — the small center link reduces nutcracker action and allows independent rein aids, making it a true double-jointed snaffle
- Stainless steel rings — durable, rust-resistant, and easy to clean; maintains its finish over years of use
- Smooth finish — no sharp edges or rough spots that could cause discomfort
Who Is This Bit For?
- Young or green horses being introduced to contact
- Sensitive horses that resist or fuss with harsher bits
- Riders looking for a soft, encouraging bit for flatwork or light jumping
- Horses transitioning from a loose ring to a more stable eggbutt or full cheek feel
Sizing & Fit Guide
Measure your horse's mouth width from the corner of the lips on one side to the other. The bit should extend approximately 1/4" beyond each side of the mouth when fitted correctly.
- Small pony: 4" – 4.5"
- Large pony / small horse: 4.5" – 5"
- Average horse: 5" – 5.5"
- Large horse: 5.5" – 6"
When in doubt, consult your trainer or equine dentist for a proper bit fitting.
Care
Rinse after each use. Polish with a soft cloth to maintain the German silver finish. Do not use abrasive cleaners on the mouthpiece.
