JUMP'IN - 0141n- Eggbutt Bit French Mouth Blue Steel

Composition: This Eggbutt bit features 16 mm cannons made of Blue Steel, an alloy of 54% carbon and 46% manganese. Known for its unique properties, Blue Steel oxidizes upon exposure to air and humidity, forming a thin layer of rust. This rust is sweet-tasting, which encourages saliva production and helps the horse relax. Over time, the bit develops a greyish-brown patina, enhancing both comfort and acceptance.

Effect: The Eggbutt design helps establish a consistent frame and keeps the horse focused, offering a practical alternative to a full cheek bit. The French mouthpiece provides additional comfort by reducing pressure on the horse’s palate, making it a gentler option.

Usage Advice: Ergonomically designed to fit a variety of horse types, this bit features thinner cannons than standard bits, allowing for greater finesse and precision in the rider’s aids. Its gentle yet effective design keeps your horse comfortable.

Sweet Iron / Blue Steel Properties:

• Material Composition: 54% carbon, 46% manganese.
• Oxidation: Both Sweet Iron and Blue Steel oxidize upon contact with air and humidity, forming a thin layer of rust. This rust is sweet-tasting, stimulating saliva production and encouraging the horse to accept the bit more readily. Over time, the bit will develop a greyish-brown patina.
