Taxes included.
Shipping costs calculated at checkout.
This bit is made of solid Cuprigan—a 89% copper, 7% aluminum, 3% iron, and 1% zinc alloy—fitted with stainless steel rings. As it oxidizes, the material releases a pleasant smell and taste. Its anatomical shape follows the contours of the mouth and distributes pressure gently and evenly. On an eggbutt bit, the rings do not rotate freely, so the aids have a more direct effect 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.

- ✔ Solid Cuprigan: oxidation releases a taste that stimulates salivation

🐎 Why choose this product?
A thin mouthpiece concentrates pressure over a smaller surface area: with the same rein contact, it is felt more strongly than a thick mouthpiece. The 12 mm size is therefore suitable for a horse that accepts precise contact, or for a small mouth where a thick mouthpiece would not fit well.
🧴 Care instructions
Rinse the bit with clean water after each use. ⚠️ Cuprigan tarnishes and turns green as it oxidizes: this is normal for the alloy, not a defect, and it should not be removed with an abrasive product.
