What is an Eggbutt Bit?
The eggbutt bit is a popular type of bit characterized by its fixed rings, which are securely attached to the mouthpiece. This special design prevents the horse’s lips from being pinched and ensures a steady, stable position in the horse’s mouth. As a result, pressure is evenly distributed, making the bit particularly gentle and comfortable for the horse. Due to its mild effect, the eggbutt bit is suitable for both young horses and experienced ones.
Eggbutt Bit – Single or Double Jointed? Which Option is Right?
Depending on the design, the eggbutt bit offers different effects:
- Single-jointed eggbutt bit: This model consists of a two-part mouthpiece with a central joint. It applies direct pressure on the tongue and bars and is particularly suitable for horses that require clear and direct rein aids.
- Double-jointed eggbutt bit: This version features a three-part mouthpiece, which distributes pressure more evenly across the tongue and bars. This makes the double-jointed eggbutt bit especially comfortable for sensitive horses and allows for finer communication between the rider’s hand and the horse.
The choice between a single-jointed eggbutt bit and a double-jointed eggbutt bit ultimately depends on the horse’s preferences and the rider’s individual needs.
