Key Features·double-jointed mouthpiece for even pressure·sweet iron promotes natural salivation and relaxation·eggbut rings offer stability, quiet movement, and consistent rein aidsDescription This bit rests smoothly in the horse’s mouth, offering a steady, attentive feel from the first contact. Its double-jointed design provides balanced, even pressure and a soft line of communication between rider and horse, while the eggbut cheeks keep the bit quiet and consistent in the mouth. This encourages reliable acceptance of the bit and a stable connection without unnecessary movement or complexity.Made from sweet iron, the mouthpiece naturally oxidizes during use, which stimulates salivation and encourages the horse to stay soft and accepting in the mouth. This contributes to a more supple contact and a calmer, more confident way of going.The double-jointed mouthpiece distributes pressure evenly across the tongue and bars, preventing the nutcracker effect and offering a smooth, stable feel. Horses that benefit from balanced pressure and a bit that follows the shape of the mouth often respond particularly well to this design. It is also a great option for horses with a lower palate, as the double-jointed construction reduces upward movement toward the roof of the mouth, providing extra comfort.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 that appreciate a soft, stable mouthpiece-horses with a lower palate who tend to be sensitive to the nutcracker effect of single-jointed bits-riders who seek precision and a consistent, quiet connection without tensionTechnical Details·Type: Eggbut·Mouthpiece: Double jointed ·Thickness options: 14 mm / 16 mm·Material: Sweet Iron (nickel free)Care & UseAfter each ride, rinse the bit with warm water and dry with a soft cloth.
