Eggbutt Loose Ring Buster Roller
The Buster Roller is a great bit for schooling, the link in the middle is shortened to 40mm increasing bar and tongue pressure making the bit sharper than conventional link bits. Best suited for a horse with a low head carriage and which leans on the bit. The increased pressure on the bar will lift the head and the roller will increase pressure on the tongue tucking the chin in.
Loose Ring Happy Tongue
A horse shaking its head when bit pressure is applied or its tongue trying to escape the bit are classic signs the horse has a sensitive tongue. With this in mind the Happy Tongue was created, it has a medium port creating space for the tongue, relieving pressure, allowing the horse to relax.
Loose Ring Lock Up Snaffle
The Lock Up removes the nut cracker action of the conventional snaffle, meaning it will bear less pressure on each side of the horses jaw called the bars.
Loose Ring Snaffle
Our Snaffle mouthpiece is popular due to the curved mouthpiece which distributes pressure more evenly over tongue and bars. With the offset centre link it will reduce nutcraker action and pressure points on the tongue.
Loose Ring Half Smooth Half Twisted Snaffle
The half smooth half twist snaffle is a unique bit which is reversible and can be used either way, this bit is for when a horse favours or leans on the one side.
Loose Ring Petros Control
The Petros mouthpieces rotate preventing the horse taking hold of the bit and can be combined with any 3 piece bit. Often good for a horse that leans or tries to take hold of the bit. The Control Plate is set at 45° to follow the contour of the horses tongue. Consequently, a horse who uses his tongue as a means of pushing against the bit and therefore taking control, will draw back and tuck his chin in, coming back to a better point of control. This differs from a Dr Bristol which sits horizontlaly with the edge of the plate on the tongue.
