Eggbutt Snaffle Bit #18
Description: The Eggbutt Snaffle Bit #18 is made of Stainless Steel. The mouthpiece is 5 1/8 inches wide, slightly bowed and has inlaid copper strips to increase salivation. It is 3/8th inch in diameter at the corners of the mouth and gradually tapers to 1/4 inch in the center.
How it works: When each rein is pulled the eggbutt snaffle bit will give a clearer signal than a ring snaffle because there is a larger area of contact on the corner of the mouth and contact on the opposite side of the face. This helps the colt to bring his whole face through the turn rather than just his nose. This bit is NRCHA & AQHA legal.
This is my favorite snaffle and I use it on almost all my young horses. Dennis
Shown on the horse in addition to the Eggbutt Snaffle is the #HS34 Doubled and Stitched Browband Headstall, the #CU31 Single Buckle Leather Curb and the #BLL2 Latigo on Latigo 5/8″ Heavy Reins.

Steel Long S Shank Bit #B3
$375.00 – $399.99Description: This Steel Long S Shank Bit #B3 is made from high strength 4130 steel. The shanks are 7 3/4 inches in length and overlaid with hand engraved nickel silver. This bit is available with your choice of 2 mouthpieces (see picture at left). Both mouthpieces are 5 1/8 inches wide, 7/16th inch in diameter with 1 inch ports and have copper strips inlaid to promote salivation. The bit is NRCHA legal with the #4F roller mouthpiece and comes with the #BH41 Latigo Bit Hobble when the roller mouthpiece is ordered.
How it works: The length and slight angle of the shanks provides you with enough leverage for a quick response when the reins are pulled or released and will be a good step up if you need a quicker/stronger response than you are getting with a shorter shank bit.

Short S Shank Bit #B2
$375.00 – $399.99Description: This Steel Short S Shank Bit #B2 is made from high strength 4130 steel. The shanks are 6 3/4 inches in length and overlaid with hand engraved nickel silver. This bit is available with your choice of 4 mouthpieces (see picture at left). All mouthpieces are 5 1/8 inches wide, 7/16th inch in diameter and have copper strips inlaid to promote salivation. The bit is NRCHA legal with either the #4B or #4F roller mouthpiece and comes with the #BH41 Latigo Bit Hobble (shown) when a roller mouthpiece is ordered.
How it works: Because the shanks have a slight “S” angle they allow the horse a short amount of time after reins are adjusted (pulled) to respond to the cue before the mouthpiece makes contact with the sides of mouth, tongue, and roof of the mouth, the headstall crown piece makes contact with the poll, and the curb strap makes contact with the chin. This is a mild solid shank bit that works well for many disciplines and on many horses.
Shown with the 4F mouthpiece w/roller.
