Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Dr Bristol differ from a standard snaffle in terms of action?
The Dr Bristol features a straight-edged angled plate in the centre of the mouthpiece, which creates a sharper action working primarily on the tongue. This distinguishes it from a standard snaffle, which typically has a milder, more even pressure.
Is the Lorina Dr Bristol Eggbutt Snaffle suitable for novice riders?
No - this bit is described as strong and is not recommended for novice riders. It is intended for experienced riders working with strong horses or those that lean into the contact.
What type of horses is the Dr Bristol Eggbutt Snaffle designed for?
It is designed for strong horses and those that lean, where a more assertive bit action is needed. It is not intended for horses that respond well to lighter, milder bits.
What are the benefits of the eggbutt ring style on this Dr Bristol?
The eggbutt ring prevents the bit from sliding through the mouth and offers a fixed, stable connection to the cheekpiece, which can suit horses that prefer a steady, consistent feel at the sides of the mouth.
