Description
This bit rests smoothly in the horse’s mouth, offering a warm, inviting feel from the first contact. Its double-jointed design provides refined, even communication between rider and horse, while the eggbutt cheeks keep the bit quiet and consistent in the mouth for a reliable connection without unnecessary complexity.

Made from sweet copper, the mouthpiece offers a warm, naturally sweet taste that stimulates salivation and helps sensitive horses stay soft and accepting in the contact. Because sweet copper does not oxidize, it maintains a smooth surface and stable flavour over time, supporting a supple connection and promoting a calm, confident way of going.

The double-jointed mouthpiece distributes pressure evenly across the tongue and bars, preventing the nutcracker effect and offering a smooth, stable feel. Horses that benefit from balanced pressure and a bit that follows the shape of the mouth often respond particularly well to this design. It is also a great option for horses with a lower palate, as the double-jointed construction reduces upward movement toward the roof of the mouth, providing extra comfort.

With eggbut rings, the mouthpiece remains more stable in the horse’s mouth, preventing excessive lateral movement and reducing the risk of pinching at the corners of the mouth. This steadiness supports horses who appreciate a quieter bit, helping them stay confident in the contact. The fixed rings provide consistent, reliable rein aids and contribute to a soft but secure connection throughout the ride.

Ideal For

-sensitive horses that appreciate a soft, stable mouthpiece
