Aster's premium golden Gentle curve double jointed snaffle provides a gentle contact without any nutcracker action. The smooth contours of the mouth piece create a gentle pressure to reinforce rein aids without any overreaction in the contact. The baucher ring lifts the bit off the bars and reduces the pull on the poll and TMJ. Good for sensitive horses, horses that dislike too much bar or tongue pressure, or horses that need relief from the poll and TMJ.
