Frequently Asked Questions
What is a kimberwick snaffle bit used for?
A kimberwick snaffle bit combines mild leverage with responsive communication across multiple riding disciplines. The broken mouth design with tongue relief encourages relaxation while the D-ring and chain provide balanced control for training, trail riding, and varied riding activities. This responsive bit is suitable for riders seeking gentle cueing without harsh contact across western, English, and general riding styles.
What does broken mouth mean on a horse bit?
A broken mouthpiece has a joint or bend in the middle, creating two segments instead of a straight bar. This design encourages the horse to relax and flex naturally at the jaw. Combined with tongue relief, the broken mouth reduces pressure points on the bars and allows for clearer, more responsive communication between rider and horse.
Is the Bar H Equine kimberwick snaffle bit made of real stainless steel?
Yes. This bit is crafted from high-quality stainless steel that resists corrosion and withstands daily barn use, varied riding conditions, and regular training sessions. Stainless steel construction requires minimal maintenance beyond standard bit care and ensures durability through seasons of use.
What is the difference between a snaffle bit and a kimberwick bit?
A snaffle bit has simple ring design with minimal leverage, while a kimberwick snaffle adds a chain attachment that provides increased control and stability. The Bar H Equine broken mouth kimberwick snaffle offers balanced leverage - more control than a basic snaffle but gentler than curb bits, making it versatile across disciplines.
Can this bit be used for both western and English riding?
Yes. The broken mouth kimberwick snaffle design and balanced leverage make this bit suitable for western pleasure, English riding, general training, and varied riding disciplines. The responsive control works well for horses across different temperaments and rider skill levels seeking clear communication.
How do I clean and maintain a stainless steel horse bit?
Rinse after each use with warm water to remove saliva and debris. For deeper cleaning, use mild soap and a soft brush, then dry thoroughly. Stainless steel resists rust and corrosion, so regular rinsing and drying are usually sufficient. Store in a dry location to maintain shine and prevent water spotting.
