Dr Bristol Eggbutt Snaffle

Product Description

Eggbutt Dr Bristol snaffle, made from stainless steel using the investment cast, lost wax method for the highest quality finish. 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 & 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.
