A snaffle bit is the most common type of bit used while riding horses . It consists of a bit mouthpiece with a ring on either side.

A snaffle is not categorized by a jointed bit mouthpiece as is often thought. A bit is a snaffle because it creates direct pressure leverage on the mouth. Therefore, a single- or double-jointed mouthpiece, though the most common designs for snaffle bits, does not make a bit a snaffle. A Mullen mouth (a solid, slightly curved bar) or a bar bit is also a snaffle
