Various suppliers eggbutt bradoons
Use in conjunction with a weymouth or as an eggbutt snaffle ideal for small ponies. The eggbutt snaffle has a fixed rings this ensures there is no pinching of the lips but does not give as much play as the loose ring snaffle. The single joined eggbutt has a nutcracker effect over the lower jaw. The french link has a double joint to ensure the bit lays flat over the tongue. This disjoints the nutcracker action as found on a single jointed bit. A snaffle bit whatever the particular design, should be wide enough to allow about 13mm (1/2 inch) on either side of the horses mouth. Bits that are too narrow will pinch, but also bits that are too wide will tend to slide across the horses mouth.
