Eggbutt Bits

Eggbutt bits can be seen on many horses, from lesson ponies to upper-level jumpers, and with good reason. These snaffles are simple and easy to use, and they tend to be mild. Named after the oval shape of the cheekpiece, eggbutt snaffles are popular among equestrians worldwide.
Our range of eggbutt bits is not just extensive, but also diverse. With a variety of mouthpieces from trusted equine manufacturers such as Jeffries Saddlery, Myler Bits, Shires, Korsteel JP, and Weaver Leather, you can customize your riding experience. Whether you ride English or Western, we have an eggbutt bit that's well suited to your horse.

An eggbutt snaffle is a popular choice for riders seeking a gentle yet effective bit. Its fixed, oval-shaped rings prevent the bit from pinching the horse’s lips, offering a more comfortable experience compared to loose ring snaffles. The solid connection between the mouthpiece and rings provides stable communication, which is ideal for young or sensitive horses who may struggle with harsher bits. Additionally, the eggbutt snaffle promotes a soft, steady contact, making it a great option for riders aiming to improve their horse's confidence and responsiveness without causing discomfort.

Many smooth eggbutt snaffles are legal in lower-level competitions. Refer to the United States Dressage Federation (USDF) or United States Eventing Association (USEA) rulebook for a complete list of legal bits.
Many equestrians struggle to find the right bit for their horse, but we don’t want you to be one of them. Refer to our blog or consult with a member of our experienced sales staff for additional assistance in making your purchase.
