It encourages chewing and relaxation while supporting a steady connection. The soft material and flexible core offer a gentle feel, helping reduce tension in sensitive horses.The outer layer is made from a soft synthetic compound, free from toxins and designed for safe, daily use. Its smooth finish protects delicate oral tissue while the inner flex core gives just enough movement to adapt with the horse’s mouth. Horses that dislike rigid or metal bits often respond with greater relaxation and salivation to this material.This bit features a flexible, straight bar mouthpiece that gently contours to the shape of the horse’s mouth without creating the nutcracker action found in jointed bits. The flexibility allows it to absorb tension, promoting soft acceptance and encouraging the horse to stretch into the contact. Its 20 mm thickness ensures wide pressure distribution, making it especially kind to sensitive bars and tongues.With Eggbut rings, the mouthpiece remains more stable in the horse’s mouth, preventing excessive lateral movement and reducing the risk of pinching at the corners of the mouth. This steadiness supports horses who appreciate a quieter bit, helping them stay confident in the contact. The fixed rings provide consistent, reliable rein aids and contribute to a soft but secure connection throughout the ride.Ideal for Horses with sensitive mouths Young horses learning to accept the bit Riders prioritising gentle, low-pressure aids Technical details Type: Eggbut Mouthpiece: Straight, flexible Thickness: 20 mm Material: Soft synthetic coating with flexible core; stainless steel rings Care & useAfter each ride, rinse the bit with warm water and dry with a soft cloth.
