Feeling Eggbutt Single Jointed - Rubber

Eggbutt

The eggbutt is a basic bit with fixed rings and is therefore stable in the mouth of a horse.
The rings cannot move separately from the mouthpiece, so your help works immediately.
Depending on the type, thickness and material, an egg bunt has a sharper or softer effect.
Because the rings cannot move loose from the mouthpiece, bit guards are not necessary.
The eggbutt is recommended for young horses and for a rider with a normal hand.

Single Jointed

A single jointed bit has a hinge point in the middle that puts pressure on the lips, layers and sides of the tongue. A single jointed bit squeezes the tongue slightly under pressure and puts less pressure on the tongue.
A single jointed bit rises slightly in the middle and can sting the palate. In this case is it better to choose a double-jointed or straight mouthpiece.
A single jointed bit is a good basic bit, suitable for many horses and riders.

Rubber - plastic mouthpiece

A rubber bit can be flexible, but also can contain a hard core. The flexible rubber bit has a steel wire running through is, so the bit can not break. The flexible bit is softer.
Black rubber has the disadvantage that if a horse has a drier mouth, the bit gets hot by friction and then can burn on the tongue. When a horse produces enough saliva, a rubber bit is the softer variant of a metal bit.
The plastic variant is smoother and doesn’t have this problem.
