CheekpieceThe Eggbutt cheekpiece prevents pinching of the lips and give a slightly more solid feel against the side of the face. It also prevents the bit being pulled through the mouth. The release is slower and also introduces some poll pressure.MouthpieceOur Snaffle is a popular bit due to the curved mouthpiece which distributes pressure more evenly over tongue and bars and reduces the nutcracker action. The offset centre link avoids the usual pressure point on the tongue. The nutcracker action results in the horse lifting its head, therefore offers a solution for the horse that runs with its head down.The mouthpiece can be optionally more curved, creating a more comfortable bend than the conventional, which reduces pinch and spreads pressure points around the bars.MaterialOxidizes easilyEncourages salivationHelps bit acceptanceWarm and sweetOur bits should be washed after every use and checked for wear.If the bit has been out of use for some time, a kitchen scourer maybe necessary to remove built up oxidation.
