- Copper is a warm metal that encourages the horse to salivate and mouth on the bit
- Can be used with keepers on the bridle to help keep the cheeks vertical
- Made from stainless steel - durable, easy to clean, tasteless and does not rust

Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes does the Premier Equine Eggbutt Snaffle with Copper Lozenge come in?
This bit is available in four sizes: 4.5 Inch (114mm), 5 Inch (127mm), 5.5 Inch (140mm), and 6 Inch (152mm).
What are the A and B measurements of this bit?
As per the Premier Equine size guide, the A measurement is 14mm and the B measurement is 165mm.
Why does this bit have a copper lozenge in the mouthpiece?
Copper is a warm metal that encourages the horse to salivate and mouth on the bit. The copper lozenge sits at the centre of the double jointed mouthpiece, helping to distribute pressure evenly over the tongue and bars of the mouth while reducing the nutcracker action associated with single jointed bits.
Why is an eggbutt (fixed cheek) design recommended for young or green horses?
The fixed cheeks create less movement than loose ring designs, which can help horses that are unsure of the bit feel more settled. The eggbutt design also prevents the bit from being dragged through the horse's mouth and can be used with keepers on the bridle to keep the cheeks vertical, aiding steering.
Can I return this bit if it does not suit my horse?
For reasons of health and hygiene, this bit is non-returnable once it has been removed from the template. Please check sizing carefully before purchasing.
