Harmony Beval Snaffle
Product Description
The Harmony Beval Snaffle is engineered for horses that require a gentler approach to contact without sacrificing control. Built around the Poponcini Harmony mouthpiece, this bit combines a lightweight, flexible plastic construction with a stainless steel inner cable core — delivering the stability riders rely on while presenting the horse with a soft, yielding feel that encourages relaxed acceptance rather than resistance.
At the heart of this bit's design is the silicone-coated mouthpiece, which surrounds the inner steel cable in multiple protective layers: soft plastic sheathing followed by a non-toxic silicone coating. This layered construction eliminates the hard, unyielding surface of a conventional metal mouthpiece, making it ideal for horses with light or sensitive mouths. The elastic quality of the mouthpiece naturally discourages pulling — promoting self-carriage and a more willing contact.
The Beval ring configuration adds a subtle degree of poll and chin groove pressure, offering a modest degree of extra control when a sensitive horse becomes strong in competition. Combined with protective ledges at the outer mouthpiece edges — which prevent rubbing and guard against the bit being pulled through the mouth — this is a considered solution for horses transitioning to milder bitting, those recovering from bit resistance, or sensitive horses competing at the highest levels.

Why Riders Love It
- Horses that previously fought the bit often accept this mouthpiece willingly on the first ride, reducing warm-up time and improving focus in the arena
- The soft mouthpiece + Beval ring combo lets riders maintain finesse with sensitive horses while still having reliable control when needed

Care & Maintenance
Rinse with clean water after each use to remove saliva and debris. Wipe dry with a soft cloth before storage. Avoid abrasive cleaners or wire brushes, which can damage the silicone coating. Do not soak for extended periods, as prolonged immersion may degrade the outer coating. Inspect periodically for cracks or peeling; replace if structural integrity is compromised. Store away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
