Eggbutt Flexi Mouth Jointed Snaffle

Eggbutt flexi mouth jointed snaffle, made from stainless steel using the investment cast, lost wax method with space age plastic covering on the bars. The polyurethane covered bars of this eggbutt snaffle gives the bit a warm feel which will encourage some horses to salivate and accept the bit more than a stainless steel mouthpiece. The plastic covered eggbutt jointed snaffle is thought to be one of the simplest bits, and can be good for novice horses and riders as the eggbutt cheek prevents too much vibration from the riders rein being felt by the horse.

• Works on the bars and roof of the mouth due to the nutcracker action, but the action is softened a little by the plastic covered mouthpiece of the bit
• Can sometimes help prevent the horse from getting its tongue over the bit due to the high nature of the bit mouthpiece in the horses mouth when in use
• Polyurethane covered mouthpiece can encourage horses to accept the bit more than a stainless steel mouthpiece as it is warmer and softer to the touch
• The plastic covered eggbutt snaffle can be used in dressage competitions
• Bit strength: fairly mild
