Ergonomic Eggbutt Snaffle

Stainless steel, laiton & Sweet iron: Bombers only uses the very best Stainless Steel. Brass is used in a some products. Most our mouthpieces are made from blue sweet iron, because it:

• Oxidises easily
• Encourages salivation
• Helps bit acceptance
• Is warm and sweet

Our bits should be washed after use and checked for wear. If the bit has been out of use for some time, a kitchen scourer maybe necessary to remove built up oxidation.

The Eggbutt cheek piece prevents pinching of the lips and gives a solid feel against the side of the face. It also prevents the bit being pulled through the mouth. The release is slower than the loose ring and also introduces light poll pressure.

The nutcracker action, pinches the bars and tongue, lifting its head. The offset centre link avoids a pressure point on the tongue. The ergonomic shape offers a generous curve following the shape of the horse's mouth.

Our snaffle is a popular bit due to the curved moutpiece which distributes pressure more evenly over the tongue and bars and reduces the nutcracker action. The offset centre link avoids the usual pressure point on the tongue.
