Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the Shires French Link Eggbutt suit horses with lower palates?
The French link mouthpiece is designed so that it does not contact the palate during action, making it more comfortable for horses with lower palates compared to a single-jointed bit.
How does the French link differ from a standard single-joint mouthpiece?
The French link introduces a central plate between the two joints, which distributes pressure more evenly across both sides of the horse's tongue rather than creating a nutcracker-style action.
What sizes does the Shires French Link Eggbutt come in?
It is available in four sizes: 4.5 Inch (114mm), 5 Inch (127mm), 5.5 Inch (140mm), and 6 Inch (152mm).
Why are the rings smaller on the smaller sizes of this bit?
The bit is designed with smaller rings in smaller sizes so that the overall proportions remain balanced and appropriate for the horse's mouth size.
