The Stainless Steel Snaffle Bit has a 5" sweet iron twisted wire mouth with 6 1/2" cheeks. Sweet iron is intended to rust, it produces a sweet taste as rusting occurs. A snaffle bit is the most common bit used and acts with direct pressure. The twisted snaffle is a severe bit because it does not allow the horse to develop a soft, consistent connection with the bit. It is best used on a strong horse who leans heavily on rider's hands and does not respond to milder bits. This bit is not recommended for training a horse.

Cheeks refers to the sides of the bit, it includes both the purchase and the shank. The purchase is the part of the bit above the mouthpiece. A short purchase allows the bit to act quicker in a horse's mouth when the reins are pulled. With a longer purchase the bit is slower to react. The shank is the part of the bit located below the mouthpiece, it gives the rider leverage on the mouthpiece. The shorter the shank, the less control; the longer the shank, the more control the rider has.
