Straight, flexible eggbutt bit from Lippo with fixed rings. The flexible mouthpiece, which adapts to the horse’s movements, is made of UV-stabilised polyurethane and reinforced with an embedded steel wire for extra durability and safety.
Straight bits provide more stability and a consistently even pressure distribution in the horse’s mouth, compared to for example a single jointed snaffle. This bit also features a softer, bendable mouthpiece to better adapt to the horse’s mouth and movements.
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 provide more support. However, more experienced horses can benefit from loose-ring bits, as they offer quicker release, making them also well-suited for beginner riders.
The bit’s thickness is 12–18 mm, with 12 mm at the center of the mouthpiece.
