Fixed ring jointed Eggbutt snaffle

One of the most commonly used English snaffle bits is the eggbutt snaffle. It is useful in training a young horse, general riding, and the beginning stages of dressage.
Like most English snaffle bits the primary action is the pull on the bars of the mouth. The shape of the cheeks prevents the bit from pinching the horse’s lips. The jointed mouth piece exerts a nut cracker effect when the bit is engaged, pressuring the tongue and roof of the mouth.
