However, because of its size, it is best suited for horses with enough physical room in their mouths; it may be too bulky for horses with a very low palate or an exceptionally fleshy tongue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem Number\/SKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 88-71127\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Toklat","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48099008315613,"sku":"88-71127","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/8748\/7965\/files\/toklat-english-3-loose-ring-french-link-snaffle-bit-5-1-2-cyprium-21mm-mouthpiece-88-71127.webp?v=1782612042","url":"https:\/\/hoovesandpaws.com\/products\/toklat-eng-3-loose-ring-21mm-cyprium-french-link-snaffle-5-1-2","provider":"Hooves and Paws","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
