BR Apple Mouth 15 mm single-jointed eggbutt bit
Taxes included.
Shipping costs calculated at checkout.
The Apple Mouth mouthpiece 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 to accept the bit. At 15 mm, the mouthpiece is relatively narrow, making it suitable for horses with less space in their mouths. The mouthpiece is made of plastic with a metal core, with an FDA-approved hardness of 90A: solvent-free, plasticizer-free, and non-toxic. 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 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 unlock the contact when changing the mouthpiece shape has achieved nothing.
🧴 Usage tips
Measure the width from one ring to the other, with the mouthpiece held taut. ⚠️ 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.
