Horse-Mule Snaffle

A Horse-Mule Snaffle is a type of bit used in horse and mule riding. It is a simple bit that consists of a jointed mouthpiece with rings on either side. The mouthpiece is typically made of metal, such as stainless steel or copper, and the rings are used to attach the reins.

The purpose of a snaffle bit is to provide direct communication between the rider's hands and the horse's mouth. It is designed to be gentle and mild, making it suitable for young or inexperienced horses. The jointed mouthpiece allows for independent movement on each side, which helps in achieving lateral flexion and bending.

While Horse-Mule Snaffles are used in the agricultural context for working with horses and mules, they are not considered agricultural machinery or equipment themselves. They fall under the category of saddlery and related animal furnishings.
