What's the difference between a loose ring and eggbutt snaffle?
Loose ring.
Loose rings are one of the most popular of all brands and designs. It has more movement than a cone because the tongue is not fixed, which means there is no fixed pressure on the tongue.
Since the loop is able to slip over the mouth, the rider's bridle aid is not direct to the balls. It may also mean more movement in the mouth, which can be distracting or uncomfortable for some horses. Proper installation of the loose ring is crucial to ensure that the ring does not squeeze the horse's cheek.
This bit is perfect for horses that have been ridden in contact and are not fussy in the mouth. A loose ring is better for a strong horse because it is easier to control than a fixed egg. It is also more suitable for a horse that can be fixed or leaned against a fixed ring.
Eggbutt.
The traditional egg suction nozzle is simple in design and choice of suction nozzle. It is designed to keep the horse stable as it stretches forward and down.
The mouth of the tongue is designed to act on the outer edge of the tongue, and a certain degree of control is obtained by squeezing action.
An egg butt is often a good choice for sensitive horses, as it needs stability to provide the encouragement needed to stretch forward and find the bit.
Eggs are also a good choice for horses with prominent lips, as you can get a better fit without the risk of friction.
