BR Eggbut Snaffle Sweet Iron 14mm Straight Mouth

BR unbroken egg snaffle Sweet Iron 14 mm The Sweet Iron bits are known for the sweet taste of the mouthpiece. In addition, the bits are anatomically shaped and available in many shapes and sizes.

This unbroken egg snaffle is made of solid stainless steel combined with a sweet iron layer on the mouthpiece (blue). The sweet iron coating on the mouthpiece stimulates the production of saliva. When this material reacts with moisture, heat and air, it will oxidize and develop a sweet tasting surface rust. This aids in bit acceptance. Eventually the blue color disappears, but the taste of the surface rust remains.

The anatomical design follows the shape of the horse's mouth, creating a soft and even pressure distribution. An uninterrupted snaffle with tongue arch ensures that the mouthpiece acts on the layers and the tongue and thus gets a sharper effect. The unbroken mouthpiece makes it impossible to give one-sided bridle aids and the mouthpiece is therefore not suitable for riders who do not yet mainly ride on leg and seat aids. The normal tongue arch is slightly bent forward and makes it more difficult for the horse to place the tongue over the bit.

A Eggbutt Bit has rings that cannot rotate freely, which means that aids act more directly. This type of bit is generally well accepted because the mouthpiece is relatively firm in the mouth. The nozzle has a thickness of 14 mm and the bit rings have a diameter of 65 mm.
