Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Will this 5" bit fit my Quarter Horse or Thoroughbred?
A: Yes, the 5" mouthpiece is the industry standard for most average-sized light horses, including Quarter Horses, Thoroughbreds, and Arabians. It is designed to sit relatively flush against the corners of the lips for a secure and comfortable fit.

Q: How does the eggbutt design improve my horse's performance compared to a loose ring?
A: The fixed eggbutt rings prevent the mouthpiece from sliding back and forth, offering a more stable and "quiet" feel. This reduces distractions for the horse and prevents the pinching of the sensitive skin at the corners of the mouth, leading to a more willing and relaxed partner.
