The Neue Schule Demi Anky Loose Ring Snaffle is a sophisticated bit built for horses that need encouragement to stay soft, light, and consistent in the contact. Whether you’re working with a green horse just learning the ropes or a more experienced horse that has developed tension or resistance, this bit provides a clear, confident feel without being sharp or overbearing.
The Demi Anky mouthpiece features a double-jointed design with a smooth, slightly curved profile. The central lozenge is small and balanced, offering targeted yet gentle pressure on the tongue. This allows for effective communication while avoiding the typical nutcracker action of single-jointed bits. The ergonomic shape promotes a relaxed jaw and encourages the horse to reach forward into the contact, rather than hiding behind it or bracing against it.
Constructed from Neue Schule’s innovative Salox Gold®, the bit warms quickly in the mouth, offering immediate comfort. The lightweight material helps reduce tension, particularly in sensitive horses that struggle with heavier, colder metals. Horses often respond with more chewing, increased salivation, and a willingness to soften in the hand.
The loose ring design keeps the feel dynamic and responsive. It allows for subtle movement of the bit, preventing the horse from locking onto one side or becoming dull in the mouth. This freedom also encourages a more elastic rein connection and is ideal for riders who want to fine-tune their aids without adding pressure.
The Demi Anky Loose Ring is best suited for horses that:
-
Resist rigid or fixed bits
-
Have a sensitive mouth and prefer lighter materials
-
Benefit from soft, consistent contact and a flexible feel
-
Need encouragement to stretch into the rein without tension
Clean, balanced, and clear—the Neue Schule Demi Anky helps riders establish a reliable, comfortable connection their horses can trust.
