This Eggbutt snaffle has a hollow mouthpiece, making it very light. Hollow bits are wider in the mouth, which means they exert even pressure on the bars and lips. The Eggbutt snaffle has fixed cheeks, which can be useful for horses who are unsure of the bit, as it moves less in the mouth. A single joint in the center exerts pressure on the outside of the tongue, lips and mouth bars and creates a nutcracker action that can have a lifting effect at the front.
Made from stainless steel, the most commonly used material for horse bits, it is durable, easy to clean, tasteless and will not rust. This is an excellent all-round bit suitable for many horses.
According to our size guide, the A and B measurements of this bit are as follows:

Some of our stainless steel bits feature copper mouthpieces that help create a warm feeling and encourage the horse to salivate and accept the bit. Stainless steel bits are suitable for a wide range of horses and are available in many models, allowing you to choose the bit that's right for your horse and your discipline.
Match your bit with one of our luxurious Italian leather bridles.
