Shires EquiKind Ripple Loose Ring Mullen Mouth Snaffle. The Shires EquiKind Ripple Loose Ring Mullen Mouth Snaffle offers a rippled mouthpiece for a small amount of pressure and is ideal for young horses or those with sensitive mouths. The Loose Ring Snaffle provides more movement than a fixed cheek bit and allows the rider to move the bit more in the horses mouth preventing the horse from leaning and grabbing hold of the bit as easily. EquiKind Bits are similar to rubber but are lighter and more flexible, offer an apple flavour for palatability and are ideal for young or sensitive horses as they are kind on the mouth.
