Korsteel eggbutt dr bristol SS H
Eggbutt Dr Bristol snaffle, made from stainless steel using the investment cast, lost wax method for the highest quality finish.
£19.99
The Dr bristol is often confused with the french link as both have a plate in the middle, but the Bristol snaffle is at the more severe end of the bitting spectrum.
The centre plate in a Dr bristol eggbutt is angled and flat edged, causing it to dig into the horses tongue when a strong contact it taken.
It is can be useful for strong horses or those that pull as tongue pressure is preferable to a bit that uses excessive bar pressure, the tongue cannot be deadened in the same way that a horses mouth bars can be over time.
- Works primarily on the tongue with a sharp action due to the straight edged angled plate, and to a lesser degree on the bars.
- A strong bit not recommended for novice riders, but can be very useful on strong horses and those that lean
- Bit strength: Strong
