mouthpiece with the simplicity of a loose ring snaffle. Richard Watson’s main goal was to create an effective loose ring with a pinch-less cheek. The bit provides a wide sleeve and a flat link connecting the mouthpiece to the cheek. This design allows the mouthpiece to move comfortably on the ring, keeping it in the ideal position over the tongue, as well as preventing the bit from sliding through and pinching the mouth. The wide sleeve design also is an excellent directional aid.
