BarRelief Eggbutt Snaffle

$79.90 CAD

Description

The BarRelief mouthpiece features uniquely angled cannons designed for horses with challenging oral conformations. Rather than applying direct pressure to sensitive bar tops, the innovative geometry creates a lifting action that redirects pressure to the sides of the bars. This anatomical design maintains clear communication while protecting sensitive tissues.

The central lozenge is precisely positioned to float at or slightly above the bars when the bit is properly fitted, effectively minimising direct downward pressure on the top of bars. When rein contact is taken, the independent movement of the cannons promotes a rolling action along the sides of the bars, tongue and lips rather than sharp pressure points.

This thoughtful engineering provides:

Bar relief through strategic pressure redistribution
Extra palate clearance from elevated lozenge positioning
Gentle tongue pressure encouraging proper carriage

Mouthpiece thickness: 14mm

Is this bit right for my horse?

Riders often choose this bit for:

Sensitive bars: the design redirects pressure to the sides of the bars instead of the tops
Horses that chew or grab the bit with their teeth (metal, non-ported)

The eggbutt keeps the bit still. A good match for busy-mouthed horses and those that prefer stability.

BarRelief Mouthpiece

Eggbutt Cheekpiece

Eggbutt cheekpiece is a simple cheekpiece without leverage. It provides more stability than loose ring bits, which often makes it a great choice for young horses still learning, more sensitive and reactive horses and riders with less experienced hands.

German Silver

German silver is a copper-rich alloy made of nickel, copper, and zinc that promotes salivation and offers a warm feel in the mouth. It is more resistant to oxidation than sweet iron but still encourages bit acceptance due to its composition. While it does not rust, it may tarnish over time. To maintain it, clean with warm water and mild soap after each use, avoid harsh abrasives to preserve the finish, and polish occasionally to prevent discoloration.

Dressage legal under USEF, EC, FEI, EC Eventing, and USEA rules.
