It supports clearer aids and can help reduce leaning without resorting to metal. While firmer than the Soft and Medium versions, the bit maintains a smooth, rounded surface to avoid unnecessary pressure points.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConstructed from a firm, non-toxic synthetic material, the surface remains smooth and safe while offering maximum clarity of aid. The material is free of harmful substances and suitable for long-term use. While firmer than the Soft and Medium options, it still avoids the coldness and unforgiving feel of traditional metal bits, making it a considered choice for riders needing more defined communication.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit features a firm, straight bar design that offers stability and clear contact. The mouthpiece maintains its shape under pressure, making it ideal for horses that tend to lean or become heavy in softer bits. Its straight structure evenly distributes pressure across the bars and tongue, providing consistent, well-defined signals without the sharpness of metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIdeal for\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorses that lean or become heavy in the hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExperienced riders seeking precise rein response\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdvanced schooling, jumping, or cross-training disciplines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eTechnical details\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Eggbut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMouthpiece: Straight, flexible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThickness: 20 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Firm synthetic coating with rigid core; stainless steel rings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eCare \u0026amp; use\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter each ride, rinse the bit with warm water and dry with a soft cloth.
