Shires Cherry Roller Loose Ring Jointed Snaffle

The Shires Cherry Roller Loose Ring Jointed Snaffle is a clever solution for riders looking to improve responsiveness and focus in horses that tend to “grab” the bit or lean on the rider’s hand. By combining the gentle action of a loose ring with the tactile stimulation of rolling discs, this bit encourages a soft, mobile mouth.

Key Benefits

• Discourages Fixing: The rollers (“cherries”) revolve around the mouthpiece. This prevents the horse from taking a firm grip on the bit, making it much harder for them to pull or lean.

• Refined Control: The loose ring design allows the bit to follow the angle of the horse’s tongue, providing a more fluid communication and immediate release of pressure when the horse responds correctly.

• High-Quality Construction: Built with durable stainless steel, this bit is designed for longevity and easy maintenance.

Why Choose the Cherry Roller?

If you find yourself in a “tug-of-war” during your schooling sessions, the Cherry Roller can be a game-changer. The rollers provide a mild distraction for busy-mouthed horses, channeling that energy into playing with the bit rather than fighting the contact. It is a popular choice for horses that are a bit “strong” but don’t necessarily require a high-leverage curb bit.

Rider Note: Because the loose rings move freely, ensure you have a correct fit to avoid any pinching at the corners of the mouth. Using bit guards is a common way to provide extra protection if your horse has particularly sensitive skin.
