Shank Snaffle
Snaffle bits for Horses, how is it supposed to be positioned on headstall?
I recently purchased a plain Snaffle Bit for horse. When i attached it on to bridle, I noticed it has a slight bend (to go over tongue?) So should it appear Curve up or curve down when I hold up the bridle? The curve up part of the bit is thicker. I am assuming the rounded, indented thinner part of the metal is what goes against the horse's lips? I am used to shank snaffles and curb bits!
if you're holding the bridle in the same direction it will be sitting on the horse's head you want the curve comming toward you (does that make any sense?!) you always want the curve of the bit pointing toward the horse's chest (same thing if you're using shanks or curb bits). the curve of the bit needs to sit against the lips and the arched side needs to point out toward the nose when it's in the horse's mouth...
