{"product_id":"filet-a-aiguilles-simple-brisure-br-apple-mouth-18-mm","title":"Single-jointed BR Apple Mouth eggbutt snaffle, 18 mm","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Apple Mouth bit is made of plastic with a metal core and releases a subtle apple flavor when it comes into contact with saliva. The horse salivates more, which makes it easier to accept the bit. The plastic has an FDA-approved hardness of 90A: solvent-free, plasticizer-free, and non-toxic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cheeks are movable. The eggbutt bit has two vertical cheekpieces—the cheeks—in front of the rings. They press against the cheeks and thus reinforce the steering aids, while preventing the bit from being pulled through the mouth. The horse is easy to steer, which makes this bit suitable for young horses. An eggbutt bit can be fitted with keepers, which hold it in place and give it a slight leverage effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e✨ Key features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ Apple flavor: stimulates salivation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ Thick 18 mm mouthpiece with more evenly distributed action\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ 165 mm movable stainless steel cheeks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ Cheeks: press against the cheeks and reinforce the steering aids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ The bit cannot be pulled through the mouth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003e📋 Technical specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: single-jointed eggbutt snaffle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMouthpiece: Apple Mouth plastic, stainless steel cheeks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMouthpiece thickness: 18 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheekpiece length: 165 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSizes: 12.5 cm \/ 13.5 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003e🐎 Why choose this product?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA flavored bit does not have any particular mechanical action: it affects acceptance. With a horse that keeps its mouth dry and closed, this can sometimes be what helps establish contact, where changing the shape of the mouthpiece would have made no difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e🧴 Usage advice\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeasure the width from one ring to the other, with the mouthpiece 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 mouthpiece to be visible on each side. ⚠️ Check a plastic mouthpiece regularly: if it is nicked or chewed, replace it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BR","offers":[{"title":"12,5 cm","offer_id":58593473659215,"sku":"254031M000125","price":52.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"13,5 cm","offer_id":58593473691983,"sku":"254031M000135","price":52.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/0029\/9177\/files\/254031_M000_01.jpg?v=1787933186","url":"https:\/\/selleriebucephale.com\/en\/products\/filet-a-aiguilles-simple-brisure-br-apple-mouth-18-mm","provider":"Sellerie Bucéphale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
