I'm not that good with bits, but I can tell you that a kimberwick bit is a lot harser than a snaffle and a snaffle is generally referred to as a training bit.

A snaffle is midler. A pellam is a combination of a curb and a snaffle. It has a curb chain and can be very harsh. Of course, a bit is only ever as harsh as the hands that hold the reins.
There are many kind snaffle bits available at the moment, but the French Link snaffle bit, a bit that has two joints in the middle rather than one, is considered one of the kindest.
The snaffle is a type of bit. A similar word is stifle, which is a hind leg joint in the horse.
A snaffle with two joints reduces the "nutcracker" effect to a degree because it comforms more to the shape of horses' mouths compared to the V of a single jointed snaffle that pinches on the bars and may even send the point into the roof of the mouth. So, the snaffle with two joints is less severe than a single jointed snaffle.
Yes it is as a D ring bit is always a weaker one.
A D-ring bit can be a snaffle bit. A snaffle is any type of jointed bit. But not all snaffles are D-rings; a D-ring is a bit where the ring is shaped like the letter D.
A ( gentle) bit for a horse
A kimblewick bit has a slight curb action. A snaffle can be plain or jointed but a kimblewick is normally plain.
the beginner rider should be riding a beginner level horse. a beginner horse should be able to go in a snaffle. our beginnger horses go in a full cheek copper twist or a snaffle double jointed
Hi It depends what you want your horse to do. If you arte having trouble stopping and your horse has a plain snaffle you could try a 3 ring snaffle on the lower rings or a dutch gag. For dressage a doiuble bridle is allowed in certain levels but a french link snaffle or and eggbutt snaffle would be better if not a double. Hope this helps.
