Single-jointed loose-ring snaffle, BR 18 mm
Taxes included.
Shipping costs calculated at checkout.
Plain eggbutt snaffle with a thicker 18 mm mouthpiece. Solid stainless steel, with 65 mm rings. 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 horse’s mouth.

🐎 Why choose this product?
A thick mouthpiece distributes pressure over a larger surface area, making it less noticeable. However, the horse must have enough room for it: in a shallow mouth or with a thick tongue, an 18 mm mouthpiece may instead cause discomfort.
🧴 Usage tips
Measure 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 centimetre of mouthpiece to show on each side.
