Single jointed eggbutt bit from Källquist Equestrian. The bit has fixed rings and is made of stainless steel.
A single jointed bit has one joint and mainly applies pressure to the bars, the outer parts of the tongue, and the roof of the mouth.
Bits with fixed rings sit more steadily in the horse’s mouth than bits with loose rings, which are more flexible and allow the horse to influence the bit’s position. Fixed-ring bits are often recommended for young horses, horses in training, or those that struggle to find contact with the bit. They generally offer better support. However, more experienced horses can benefit from loose-ring bits, as they provide quicker release, making them well-suited for beginner riders as well.
The bit’s thickness is 12mm. The ring diameter is 4.5cm.
