Beris Eggbut Snaffle with a Hard Tongue Port

The tongue port bar gives the horse‘s tongue enough room because of the flattened area on the port. Many horses respond to this with improved suppleness and increased chewing. And yet this bit is also well suited to horses that play with their tongues, trying to put the tongue over the bit, as the port effectively prevents this. Therefore this bit is eminently suitable for horses that do not tolerate pressure on the tongue from conventionally shaped bits and react with head-tossing and the like. The loose ring means a greater mobility of the bit in the mouth. The slight doming means the bit sits perfectly in the mouth. Pressure on the rein alters the angle of the mouthpiece in the mouth and, as a result of its special shape, increases the effect on the bars of the lower jar and tongue. The shaped transition from the mouthpiece to the bit rings prevents pinching and also provides the bit with stability and hold. The shape of the bit is particularly suited to working with young horses.
