The Eggbutt Gag is made with 4-1/2" stainless steel rings and a sweet iron mouth piece. The Eggbutt shape will prevent pinching of the lips. The release is slower and some slight poll pressure is introduced. The Eggbutt Gag is the gag version of the Eggbutt is stronger and will create more leverage on the mouthpiece whilst at the same time introducing more poll pressure.
Our Snaffle is a popular bit due to the curved mouthpiece which distributes pressure more evenly over tongue and bars. With the offset center link it will reduce the nutcracker action and pressure points on the tongue.
The Square Twist will create more pressure points on the mouthpiece which will make it stronger than the Round Twist and Smooth.
The mouth pieces is made from blue sweet iron, because it:
oxidizes easily
encourages salivation
helps bit acceptance
is warm and sweet
Please note the blue will fade with use.
