Waldhausen Eggbutt Bits: Steady in the mouth, gentle on the lips

Waldhausen Eggbutt Bits: stable and pinch-free

On an eggbutt bit, the rings are fixed firmly to the mouthpiece. As a result the bit sits steadily in the mouth, and the lips cannot get caught between ring and cannon. There are single and double jointed models, anatomically shaped versions, bits from the copper alloy Cupris range and Cyprium models. The Baucher bit, which hangs from the cheekpiece, is a special design, and for ponies there is a double jointed version.

Frequently asked questions

How is it different from a loose ring snaffle?
On a loose ring snaffle, the rings run freely through the mouthpiece and move with it. The eggbutt bit sits more firmly, which can help unsettled horses accept the bit more evenly.
