Product Description
Eggbutt Snaffle Horse Bit Sweet Iron Mouthpiece with Copper Oval Link
A major benefit of using a bean-shaped (KK) link bit is inclusive of its ability to eliminate pressure off the horse’s tongue.
The eggbutt has a slightly oval (egglike) shape and consists of around outer ring attached to a more upright, straighter cheek which is fixed to the mouthpiece. This 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
This is a mild bit and will not pinch the horse's mouth.
Oval-Link:
Double-jointed bradoons come with flat spatula links, like a French link snaffle, and with oval lozenges. In both cases, the two joints help to reduce the nutcracker effect of the single jointed snaffle, while still allowing the rider independent control over the two sides of the mouth. It also transfers rein pressure more evenly over the bars.
The Copper (Cuprium) Mouthpiece
Cuprium material mix: 85% copper, 4% silicon, and rest zinc for High breaking strength.
Copper encourages the production of saliva and the oxidation is much appreciated by horses as it warms up very quickly in the horse's mouth as compared to other materials.
