Shires French Link Eggbutt Snaffle Bit
Designed for enhanced comfort and even pressure distribution, the Shires French Link Eggbutt Bit is a popular choice for horses with sensitive mouths or low palates. The double-jointed French link reduces pressure on the roof of the mouth, allowing for more precise and gentle communication between horse and rider.
This bit promotes relaxation and acceptance of the contact, making it ideal for daily schooling or transitioning young horses to a snaffle. The eggbutt cheeks provide lateral stability and reduce the risk of pinching, ensuring a consistent feel in the reins.
