A high-quality double jointed eggbutt bit from Lippo with fixed rings. Made of stainless steel and coated with blue Sweet Iron, which stimulates the horse’s chewing reflex and increases salivation.
A double jointed bit has two joints, allowing it to adapt 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 applies more pressure to the outer parts of the tongue, the bars, and the palate.
Bits with fixed eggbutt 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 16 mm.
