Crafted with precision, this Eggbutt bit features 70 mm rings and thick cannons covered in soft leather. The French mouthpiece is made from German Silver—an alloy of 65% copper, 23% zinc, and 12% nickel—known for its durability and calming properties. Leather-covered bits are designed to offer a warm, comfortable contact, preventing the cold sensation often associated with metal bits like stainless steel or sweet iron.
Important Note: Leather-covered bits are not guaranteed against bite damage, even with initial use.
Effect: This bit delivers a direct response due to its fixed rings, offering precise control. The French mouthpiece design relieves pressure from the roof of the mouth, providing a more comfortable experience for the horse.
Tips: Ideal for horses without specific issues, this classic bit combines functionality with comfort. The leather covering adds warmth and softness, enhancing the horse’s comfort during use.
Maintenance Advice: Rinse the bit thoroughly after each use to remove residue and prevent discomfort. Regularly treat the leather with vegetable oil (avoid neatsfoot oil or synthetic alternatives) to maintain its softness and ensure a pleasant contact.
