Expert opinion : 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 Barrel joint limits the nut cracker action, which spreads the pressure over a larger area of the tongue and lessens the pressure on the bars. The Barrel allows for independent action on each rein. Please note, this bit exerts sharper tongue pressure than the Elliptical due to the Barrel being smaller. In addition, all our bits are made from blue sweet iron, because it: oxidises easily encourages salivation helps bit acceptance is warm and sweet Please note the blue will fade with use.

       

BARREL THICKNESS 

*Unless mentioned in the options, the thickness of the barrel is :

Size (mm) Barrel thickness (mm)
< 115 12
115 - 130 14
> 130 16

Please note : This bit is small, we advise you to take 1 size above.

Sweet Iron : Sweet Iron alloy oxidizes upon contact with moisture in the mouth and air. The oxidation brings a sweet taste that naturally stimulates the production of saliva. This corresponds to the effect of a sugar that is given to the horse at the beginning of the session but allows to diffuse this sweet taste throughout the work. Therefore, this alloy allows a good acceptance of the bit and helps the horse to make contact with the mouthpiece. The oxydation modifies the aspect of the bit during the sessions.
