SmoothRide Eggbutt Snaffle Bit — Versatile Draft Horse BitThe SmoothRide Eggbutt Snaffle Bit is crafted from sanded stainless steel for a smooth, comfortable feel in the horse's mouth. A reliable starter bit that is versatile, generally well-accepted, and takes up less space in the mouth without being unnecessarily harsh.Curved Mouthpiece with Anatomical LozengeThe curved mouthpiece and cleverly designed lozenge follow the anatomical shape of the bit, creating mild tongue relief when worn in the classic position. The SmoothRide line can also be used "upside down" to provide mild bar relief — a useful way to determine whether your horse prefers pressure directed toward the center or sides of the tongue above the bars.Horses that resist the flat links common in classic double-jointed snaffles tend to respond well to the smoothness of this mouthpiece.Eggbutt CheekpieceThe fixed eggbutt rings provide more stability than a loose ring, making this bit well-suited for young horses or those who need a steadier contact. For draft horses with fleshy mouths, the eggbutt design also helps prevent pinching — a common issue with loose ring bits.Dressage-Legal USEF Dressage: Yes EC Dressage: Yes FEI Dressage: Yes EC Eventing Dressage: Yes USEA Dressage: Yes Specifications Mouthpiece thickness: 15mm (0.59") Available sizes: 6" and 6.25"
