Waldhausen Eggbutt Snaffle, single jointed, stainless steel, 12.5 cm

Clear Framing and Reliable Impact: The Waldhausen Eggbutt Snaffle, single jointed

The Waldhausen Eggbutt Snaffle, single jointed is a proven classic that offers clear communication and a stable position during your daily training. Thanks to the fixed eggbutt shape of the side pieces, the bit lies incredibly quietly in the horse's mouth. Since the rings are integrated and do not slide loosely through the mouthpiece, painful pinching of the sensitive corners of the mouth is a thing of the past. At the same time, the fixed side pieces provide gentle lateral guidance, making turns noticeably easier and preventing the bit from being pulled through the mouth.

The single jointed mouthpiece acts directly and precisely on the tongue and the bars of the lower jaw when the reins are taken up. Made from high-quality stainless steel, this bit is extremely durable, easy to care for, and completely rust-proof. Since stainless steel has a smooth surface without any taste of its own, it has only a minor effect on your horse's natural salivation – perfect for horses that prefer a neutral and honest contact. The bit thickness is functionally adapted to the width: up to a mouth width of 12.5 cm it measures 14 mm, from 13.5 cm width it measures 16 mm.

Questions & Answers:

What advantage does the single jointed shape offer in combination with an eggbutt snaffle?
The single jointed design transmits the rider's aids directly and without delay to the tongue and the bars. Combined with the steady position of the eggbutt sides, this bit is excellent for very fine, precise guidance, as the mouthpiece does not float or slide around in the mouth.

Why does the bit thickness vary between the different sizes?
The thickness is linked to the width to suit the anatomical space available. Smaller horses and ponies up to 12.5 cm width have less room in the mouth, so the bit is kept slimmer at 14 mm. Larger horses from 13.5 cm width get an optimal pressure distribution with 16 mm.
