Eggbut Snaffle Bits

Eggbutt Bits: Fixed Rings for Steady Contact

Discover eggbutt snaffle bits from SPRENGER, featuring fixed rings that provide steady, consistent contact without pinching. Eggbutt bits offer moderate lateral support—more than loose ring snaffles but less distinct than D-ring bits or full cheek snaffles. This makes them an excellent middle-ground choice for horses who need some guidance during turns without the stronger lateral pressure of D-rings. The smooth, oval-shaped rings lie gently against the horse's face, preventing the bit from being pulled through the mouth while maintaining a quiet, stable position. 

Important Sizing Note for Eggbut Bits

Like any bit with a fixed side piece, eggbutt bits should be chosen one size smaller than loose ring snaffles. This ensures the fixed side lies directly against the horse's mouth for proper function (lateral support) and comfort. The fixed rings don't move through the bit holes, so the mouthpiece length needs to be slightly shorter to achieve the correct fit. 

Single-Jointed Eggbut Bits, Double-Jointed Eggbut Bits, and Mullen Mouth Eggbuts

Eggbutt bits are available in multiple mouthpiece styles. Single-jointed options like the Eggbutt Bit (Single-Jointed), Dynamic RS Eggbutt Bit (D-Shaped Rings) - Single Jointed, and TURNADO Single-Jointed Eggbutt Bit direct pressure to the tongue edges. Double-jointed bits including the KK Ultra Eggbutt Bit, Dynamic RS Eggbutt Bit (D-Shaped Rings) - Double Jointed, novocontact Eggbutt Bit, and SATINOX Eggbutt Bit (Double-Jointed) distribute pressure evenly. For steady pressure distribution alng the tongue, mullen mouth options like the Eggbutt Mullen Mouth bit - Hard Carbon with Stainless Steel Cheek Pieces offer a solution.
