Shipping costs calculated at checkout.
The Apple Mouth bit is made of plastic and releases a subtle apple flavor when it comes into contact with saliva. The horse salivates more, which makes it easier for the horse to accept the bit. On an eggbutt bit, the rings do not rotate freely, so the aids have a more direct action than with a loose-ring bit. This type of bit is generally well accepted because the mouthpiece remains relatively stable in the mouth.

🐎 Why choose this product?
A flavored bit has no particular mechanical action: it affects acceptance. For a horse that keeps its mouth dry and closed, this can sometimes be what helps establish contact when changing the shape of the mouthpiece has achieved nothing.
🧴 Usage advice
Measure the width from one ring to the other, with the mouthpiece stretched straight. ⚠️ A bit that is too narrow pinches the corners of the mouth; one that is too wide moves around in the mouth and knocks against the teeth. Allow approximately half a centimeter of visible mouthpiece on each side. ⚠️ Check a plastic mouthpiece regularly: if it is cut or chewed, replace it.
