Double jointed eggbutt bit with a plate. The bit has fixed rings and is made of stainless steel.
A double jointed bit has two joints, allowing it to conform optimally to the horse’s natural anatomy. The central piece lies flat on the horse’s tongue, distributing pressure evenly throughout the mouth, unlike a single jointed bit where the joint puts more pressure on the outer parts of the tongue, the bars, and the palate.
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 horses that struggle to find contact with the bit. They generally offer more support.
However, more experienced horses may benefit from loose-ring bits, as they offer quicker release, making them also well-suited for beginner riders.
The bit’s thickness is 12 mm.
