How many bits are in the snaffle family?
Technically, a snaffle bit is any bit without a shank. Any bit that creates direct pressure without leverage on the mouth is a snaffle bit. The most common snaffles are the simple loose or D-ring single jointed ones but double jointed and mullen mouth bits without shanks are technically snaffles as well. Pelhams and kimberwicks have shanks so they aren't considered snaffles even if they are jointed. Curb bits are shanked so they are not snaffles either. There are two components of snaffle bits, the rings and the mouth piece. Snaffles can be almost any combination of the two. Some types of rings on snaffles are: Full-Cheek Half-Cheek Loose Ring D-Ring Eggbutt Baucher (hanging) Fulmer Some types of mouth of snaffles are: Mullen Mouth- A straight bar Single or Double jointed Dr. Bristol French Mouth Twisted Corkscrew Single or double wire twisted Hollow Roller mouth Since there are many combinations of rings and mouth pieces, there are many types of snaffles! It would be difficult to name them all.

What is a suitable bit for a strong horse for equitation is you have to have some kind of snaffle?
d-ring snaffle should be fine for a horse like that and it gives u more control on your horse and thaey sell them in tack shops so they're not hard to find! I always recommend going back to basics to soften a strong horse, but using a slow twist snaffle really helps. Only if you have light hands, as slow twists and twisted snaffles can really hurt as they are usually smaller in diameter then regular jointed or double jointed snaffles.

If you don't have problems riding on the flat with your snaffle,but you do jumping,then I suggest that you get a better bit for jumping. I always use snaffles for the flat.
