JHL Copper Mouth Eggbutt Snaffle

Eggbutt snaffle with jointed copper mouthpiece. Copper is a good metal to use for the mouthpiece of horse bits as it is warmer and softer than stainless steel. It also has a taste unlike stainless steel, much almost every horse will prefer and react to by producing a 'soft mouth' and salivating more than with stainless steel. Some horses often Arab or thoroughbred type, dislike a single joint as they have a low palette, in this case a french link or double jointed mouthpiece often keeps the horse relaxed in his mouth more than a single joint. The eggbutt jointed copper mouth snaffle is thought to be one of the simplest bits, and can be good for novice riders as the eggbutt cheek prevents too much vibration from the riders rein being felt by the horse.
