Bombers Petros Jointed Snaffle Loose Ring Eggbutt
Our Petros Jointed Snaffle Loose Ring Eggbutt mouthpiece is popular due to the curved mouthpiece which distributes pressure more evenly over tongue and bars. With the offset centre link it will reduce nutcracker action and pressure points on the tongue.
Furthermore, the Petros mouthpieces rotate preventing the horse taking hold of the bit and can be combined with any 3 piece bit. As a result, they are often good for a horse that leans or tries to take hold of the bit.
The Eggbutt Loose Ring prevents pinching of the lips and gives a slightly more solid feel against the side of the face. It also prevents the bit being pulled through the mouth. The Eggbutt Loose Ring provides the quick release of a Loose Ring.
All our bits are made from blue sweet iron, because it:
oxidises easily
encourages salivation
helps bit acceptance
is warm and sweet
Please note the blue will fade with use.
