Product Description
Bradoon – Eggbutt Jointed Bradoon Copper (Cuprium)
Bradoons work in the exact same way as a snaffle, it has thinner mouthpiece and smaller rings then a snaffle and sits above the curb to regulate horizontal flexion, single jointed bradoon bit distributes even pressure across the tongue and lips. Bradoon is used with either a double or full bridle
Eggbutt
The eggbutt has a slightly oval (egglike) shape, and consists of a round outer ring attached to a more upright, straighter cheek which is fixed to the mouthpiece. The ring can move back and forth where it is attached to the cheek, but does not rotate like the loose-ring, and so is more stable in the horse's mouth, and not as fixed as the other types of rings.
Copper (Cuprium)
Cuprium material mix: 85% copper, 4% silicon, rest zinc for High breaking strength.
Copper encourages the production of saliva and the oxidation is much appreciated by horses because it warms up very quickly in the horse's mouth as compared to other materials. Copper keeps the mouth wet and responsive.
