KORSTEEL Oval Link Eggbutt Snaffle Bit

A standard single-jointed bit can create a 'nutcracker' effect that presses against the roof of the mouth when the reins are pulled. The oval link in this bit breaks that angle, allowing the mouthpiece to curve around the tongue rather than pinching it, which generally leads to a more comfortable and relaxed horse.

Copper is a warm metal that encourages a horse to salivate and soften their jaw. This increased salivation helps the bit move more smoothly in the mouth and often results in better acceptance and responsiveness from the horse.

Yes, the eggbutt design is an excellent choice for sensitive horses. Because the rings are fixed to the mouthpiece, they do not slide or pinch the corners of the lips like a loose-ring bit might, providing a very stable and consistent feel.

This is a very popular choice for young or green horses. Its mild action and the way it sits quietly in the mouth make it a gentle, forgiving option for horses that are still learning to accept contact and develop their connection to the rider's hand.

No, this bit is not compatible with bit guards. The fixed eggbutt rings are designed to sit flush against the horse's mouth, and adding guards would interfere with the intended fit and function of the bit.
