BIT STUBBEN BUTTERFLY 2293

The 2in1 bits from Stübben SteelTEC offer two levels of action in one bit. This is made possible by two differently processed sides, a rounded side and a more angular side for more punctual pressure. The 2in1 bits therefore offer a flexible solution for different training requirements.

A simple sign helps to keep track: If a + can be seen on the outside left of the bit on the mounting side, the more effective side is fitted. If this sign is missing, the softer side is fitted.

The butterfly bit 2in1 offers 4 different attachment options that allow individual pressure distribution and different effects on the horse's neck and mouth. The double-broken mouthpiece distributes the pressure evenly over the tongue and bars.

Buckling options and pressure distribution

Gentle action: If the round side of the bit is buckled towards the horse's tongue, the bit is used as a normal water snaffle. This setting is ideal for general daily use.

Selective action: If the more angular side of the bit is buckled towards the horse's tongue, a more targeted, selective action is achieved. This setting enables more precise communication with the horse and can be helpful in special training situations.

The butterfly: various attachment options for the reins to customise the pressure of the bit on the mouth and poll as required

1st option: If the reins are attached in the centre ring, the bridle works in a similar way to a Baucher bit with the main effect on the mouth and only slight pressure on the poll.

2nd option: If the reins are attached to the lower ring, the leverage effect is increased. The bit works in a similar way to a 3-ring snaffle. 

Option 3: A stronger effect is achieved by using Pelham straps attached to the centre and lower rings.

4th option: The butterfly snaffle can also be attached to the upper ring with a chin strap so that the bit acts on the tongue, throatlatch, poll and lower jaw.

ATTENTION: Lever bits should only be used by experienced riders.
