The Eggbutt Snaffle with Elliptical Link is a thoughtfully designed bit to provide comfort and effective communication between rider and horse. With its unique combination of features, this bit is ideal for young, green, or sensitive-mouthed horses that struggle with maintaining consistent contact.

Key Features:
1. Single Joint Design:
The single joint creates gentle, balanced pressure on the tongue, bars, and roof of the mouth, making it effective for encouraging responsiveness while remaining comfortable. The design avoids harsh or abrupt actions, promoting relaxation and trust.

2. Eggbutt Cheeks for Stability:
The eggbutt cheekpieces provide a more stable and "fixed" position in the horse's mouth compared to a loose ring snaffle. This stability reduces the risk of pinching and ensures clearer communication between the rider's hands and the horse's mouth, making it a popular choice for sensitive horses.

3. Elliptical Link for Comfort:
The elliptical link is carefully crafted to avoid sharp edges and harsh pressure points. Its design eliminates the nutcracker action commonly associated with single-jointed bits, ensuring an even pressure distribution across the horse’s tongue and mouth. This encourages relaxation, chewing, and salivation, which are critical for promoting a soft and supple contact.

4. Encourages Relaxation:
The ergonomic design of the elliptical link and the consistent feel of the eggbutt snaffle help horses relax their jaw, chew the bit, and become more responsive to rein aids. The bit also allows greater movement through the elliptical link, enabling precise and clear communication.
