Eggbutt Double Jointed Sweet Copper
Double-jointed mouthpiece for balanced, even pressure
• Sweet copper encourages relaxation in sensitive horses
• Eggbutt rings provide stability, quiet movement, and consistent rein aids
The Velari Eggbutt Double Jointed Sweet Copper sits comfortably in the horse’s mouth, offering a warm, welcoming feel right from the first contact. The double-jointed design ensures smooth, even communication between rider and horse, while the eggbutt cheeks keep the bit steady and quiet for a reliable connection without added complexity.
Crafted from sweet copper, the mouthpiece has a naturally warm, pleasant taste that encourages salivation and helps sensitive horses remain soft and accepting in the contact. Since sweet copper resists oxidation, it keeps a smooth surface and consistent flavor over time, supporting a supple connection and promoting a calm, confident way of going.
The double-jointed construction spreads pressure evenly across the tongue and bars, eliminating the nutcracker effect and creating a stable, comfortable feel. It’s especially well-suited for horses with a lower palate, as the design reduces upward movement toward the roof of the mouth for extra comfort.
With eggbutt rings, the mouthpiece stays more stable in the horse’s mouth, preventing excessive sideways movement and reducing the chance of pinching at the corners. This steady feel benefits horses that prefer a quieter bit, helping them stay confident in the contact. The fixed rings deliver consistent rein aids and contribute to a gentle yet secure connection throughout the ride.
The Velari Eggbutt Double Jointed Sweet Copper is perfect for sensitive horses that prefer a gentle, steady mouthpiece, those with a low palate who are uncomfortable with the nutcracker action of single-jointed bits, and riders looking for precision along with a consistent, quiet connection. Â
