Korsteel Jointed Eggbutt Bit

Copper is a warmer, softer metal that encourages horses to salivate and accept the bit more readily. This increased salivation often leads to a softer, more responsive mouth, making it an excellent choice for horses that are tense or resistant to the contact.

The eggbutt cheek prevents the bit from pinching the corners of the horse's mouth, which can happen with loose ring snaffles. It also provides more stability in the mouth, reducing lateral movement and helping the horse maintain a steady, consistent contact.

Yes, this is an ideal choice for young or green horses. Its mild, jointed action provides clear, gentle communication without being overwhelming, which helps build confidence and trust in the rider's hand.

Yes, this bit is compatible with bit guards. While the eggbutt design is already engineered to prevent pinching, you can add guards if you prefer extra protection or if your horse has particularly sensitive mouth corners.

A 12mm mouthpiece is considered relatively thin, which creates a more precise and direct feel in the horse's mouth. It is generally well-tolerated by most horses, provided they have enough room in their mouth to accommodate the bit comfortably.
