What's this bit?

[3Beasties]

I bought it as a 'magic snaffle' (Whatever that is!!) but have never used it as the rings are tiny and it would look ridiculous on Charlie, to me it looks more like a Bradoon What do you think?

I'm about to list it on Fleabay so quick answers please

ported straightbar loose ring snaffle?

I know it as a magic snaffle. I like you think its a bradoon too really. Not sure why the are called Magic Snaffles" though, horse at our yard has one.

yes it is a magic bit - the rings are tiny and the diameter is very thin. Its very straight and wouldnt have thought would have fitted round the tongue very well

I've also seen them called Cambridge snaffles.

I'd call it a Cambridge mouthpiece bradoon. Not 100% sure but that's what they are called in local tack shop

I know it as a magic snaffle. I had one on my previous horse who could get very on his forehand when out cantering on a hack and it was fantastic at stopping this happening and keeping his light in the hand with good brakes.

I was told that it was originally developed for small ponies who leaned on their small riders.

Its called a Magic Bit - Fylde Saddlery sell them. Sometimes its called a Cambridge snaffle or a ported loose ring.

If listing on Ebay I'd use all three in the advert Saying something along the lines of "5 inch Magic bit (also known as a Cambridge snaffle) it is a ported mouthpeics on small loose rings"

Why are they magic, can they fly?

Well it's now listed as a Cambridge mouth bradoon / Magic snaffle so any bidders can call it what they want! I wish things could have just one name
