Eggbutt Low Port Snaffle Bit, Capsule Sweet Iron | Handforged sweet iron with tongue relief from a low port. Sealed eggbutt cheeks for daily flatwork.

Some horses want a little more room over the tongue and no other change to a bit they already accept. This low port snaffle bit is that bit. The port rises clear so the tongue has somewhere to sit, and the Capsule center lets each half of the mouthpiece move on its own, so a single rein can speak while the rest of the bit stays put. The cheek is the point of the shape. The eggbutt closes round the end of the mouthpiece in a smooth sealed joint, so the corner of the lip is covered and the cheek holds steady as the rein takes up. It is hammer forged and then hand polished at the port, the joints, and the cheeks before it ships. The metal is bare sweet iron, one material from surface to core, with the working face left open to the air. It darkens as you use it, and that darker surface carries the mild sweet taste. Keep it clean and dry between rides and it will hold up for years.

• Two Jobs, One Mouthpiece: The low port lifts clear so the tongue has room, and the Capsule center lets each half move alone. Both work at once in one contoured mouthpiece.
• Cheeks That Seal: The eggbutt cheek closes round the end of the mouthpiece, so the corner of the lip stays covered and the cheek holds steady as you take up the rein.
• Sweet Iron, Working Face Open: The surface you touch is the metal itself. It darkens as the bit is ridden in, and that darker surface is where the mild sweet taste comes from.
• Forged and Finished by Hand: Hammer forged, then hand polished at the port, the joints, and the cheeks, so the finish is right where the horse actually feels it.
• Best For: Daily Flatwork: The horse in steady work that wants a tongue relief bit and a mouthpiece that stays quiet at the corners. An everyday bit you can leave on the bridle.
