The Korsteel Eggbutt Bradoon Snaffle has smaller rings than the average eggbutt or loose ring bit. The mouthpiece is also slimmer and lighter, as this bit is commonly used with a curb bit, such as a Weymouth, to make up a pair of double bridle bits. The eggbutt rings keeps the bit stiller in the horses mouth than a loose ring bit, which can encourage the horse to take a better contact. These bits can be used on their own on horses who do not have a lot of room in their mouths or who have small, neat heads. Ref: UTWB385
