Toklat English Hunt Dee Waterford Snaffle Horse Bit - 4" Mouthpiece

Stop the Leaning and Regain Control with the Toklat Waterford Snaffle

If you’ve ever felt like your horse is using your hands as a fifth leg, the Toklat Eng 4 Hunt Dee Waterford Snaffle is the solution you’ve been looking for. This bit is specifically designed for those strong, forward-moving horses that tend to lock their jaw or lean heavily on the bit, making it difficult to maintain a soft, responsive connection. From our barn to yours, we know how frustrating a heavy horse can be, and this bit is built to help you find that lightness again.

Unlike a solid mouthpiece, the Waterford is comprised of multiple smooth, rounded links that act like a flexible chain. This unique design molds perfectly to the horse's mouth, providing a comfortable fit while ensuring there’s nothing solid for the horse to grab onto. It’s the perfect blend of a traditional look for the show ring and the technical precision needed for effective communication during every ride.

Why Riders Choose the Toklat Waterford

• Prevents Leaning and Pulling: The multi-jointed "ball and link" design creates a flexible mouthpiece that makes it nearly impossible for a horse to lock its jaw or lean against your hands.
• Traditional Hunter Ring Style: The 4" Hunt Dee cheek provides a classic, stable appearance that is perfectly at home in the Hunter ring while offering the lateral guiding support you need.
• Customized Mouth Mold: Because the bit functions like a chain, it curves naturally over the tongue and bars, distributing pressure evenly and reducing the risk of localized pinching.
• Enhanced Control for Jumpers: While it looks traditional, the Waterford offers that extra "gear" of control required for the speed and precision of Show Jumping or the demands of Cross-Country.
• Durable Toklat Quality: Built for the long haul, this bit features the high-quality craftsmanship Toklat is known for, ensuring it stands up to daily schooling and weekend shows alike.

Best For

Hunter/Jumper riders looking for a traditional-looking bit that prevents horses from leaning or locking their jaw without being overly harsh.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How should I size the Toklat Waterford Snaffle?

Because the Waterford is a flexible chain that curves around the tongue, we recommend upsizing by 1/4" to 1/2" compared to your horse's standard snaffle size. This extra length allows the bit to curve comfortably without pinching the lips or pulling too far into the mouth.

Q: Is this bit legal for all disciplines?

The Toklat Eng 4 Hunt Dee Waterford Snaffle is generally legal for Hunter and Jumper classes, as well as the jumping phases of Eventing. However, it is typically not legal for Dressage competition, so always check your specific organization's rulebook.
