The Bevel/Loop Ring Snaffle with Copper Lozenge, also known as a Wilkie, is a style of a snaffle bit and is very popular with horses and ponies that need extra brakes. When contact is taken this bit applies added pressure to the poll as the rings cause the bit to be raised in the horse's mouth.

The Shires Bevel Bit features a copper lozenge that sits comfortable on the horse's tongue, assists with salivation and encourages the horse to accept the bit. The double jointed mouth piece eliminates the nutcracker and palate action of a single jointed bit and instead applies pressure to the horse's tongue and bars of the mouth.
