Stage A Traditional Loose Ring

This classic snaffle bit has been the top choice of trainers and riders through the ages. The combination of the slightly weighted ring with an average size 3/8" smooth snaffle makes this bit perfectly balanced for training and everyday riding. The weight of the ring increases feel for both the horse and rider which gives the horse pre-signals to rein cues and provides clear communication. Stage A bits are great for starting horses, training, or maintaining steady contact. Aspects include direct reining, non-leverage loose rings and D-rings with mouthpiece diameters 5/16" and over.
