Feeling Waterford Snaffle – Flexibility and control in perfect balance ⚖️
The Feeling Waterford Knevelsnens is a special bit that provides optimal flexibility and extra control. Thanks to the unique Waterford mouthpiece – made up of multiple rounded links – this bit smoothly molds to the horse's mouth and distributes pressure evenly. In combination with the stable operation of the toggle sides, this bit is ideal for horses that like to try to grip the bit or are difficult to steer.
Unique advantages of the Waterford mouthpiece:
Movable in all directions: prevents grabbing and makes the bit 'unpredictable' for the horse
Flexible design: molds to the mouth, increasing comfort
Even pressure distribution: no hard points in the mouth (when soft in the hand)
Note: Not suitable for inexperienced riders – this bit requires a fine hand to work correctly and horse-friendly
What does the toggle effect?
Two side bars (gags) prevent the bit from being pulled through the mouth
More pressure on the cheeks: facilitates steering, ideal for young or crooked horses
Very stable in the mouth: lies quietly, gives clear, honest aids
Extra tip: use with gag snaffle loops Attach a gag snaffle loop to the cheekpiece on either side of the bit.
This will slide the top toggle section through, which will provide:
Extra leverage
More direct action
Prevents toggles from getting under the noseband
✔️ Perfect for:
Horses that like to hang on or grip the bit
Young horses in training that need extra guidance
Riders with feeling in hand looking for refined communication
Maintenance: Clean with water after use and dry. Regularly check the links for wear.
Feeling – if you are looking for control without sacrificing softness.
