Description
Highly recommended for horses that are unsteady in the contact with the bit. Eggbutts are suitable for horses with sensitive corners on their mouths- as they prevent them from being pinched which can happen with loose ring snaffles. The characteristic features of these bits are the oval rings (resp. the D-Ring side parts) which are fixed to the mouthpiece- keeping the bit steady in the mouth- enabling direct and effective impact onto the tongue. The side parts also prevent the bit from being pulled through the mouth. The additional contact surface from the cheeks on the mouth corners supports guarding and sideways acting rein aids.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the Sprenger Satinox Eggbutt recommended for horses unsteady in the contact?
The eggbutt design features oval rings fixed to the mouthpiece, which keeps the bit steady in the mouth rather than moving freely. This stability helps horses that struggle to maintain a consistent contact with the bit.
How does the eggbutt design protect sensitive mouth corners?
Unlike loose ring snaffles, the fixed oval rings on this bit cannot pinch the corners of the mouth, making it a suitable choice for horses with sensitive lips or mouth corners.
Can this bit be pulled through the horse's mouth?
No. The fixed side parts of the eggbutt design prevent the bit from being pulled through the mouth, which is one of the key safety and stability advantages of this style.
What is the mouthpiece thickness of this bit?
The mouthpiece is 14mm in diameter.
Is this bit single or double jointed?
It is double jointed, which affects how pressure is distributed across the tongue and bars compared to a single-jointed mouthpiece.
How do the cheek pieces support rein aids?
The additional contact surface from the cheeks against the mouth corners helps support guarding and sideways-acting rein aids, making lateral communication clearer.
