The Stubben 2636 Eggbutt Snaffle is an ideal choice for riders seeking a stable, comfortable bit for horses that are sensitive or currently in training. Its primary benefit lies in the fixed eggbutt ring design, which eliminates corner-of-the-mouth pinching and provides excellent lateral guidance, though riders should note that it offers less direct, immediate signal transmission compared to loose-ring models.

Yes, it provides stable guidance, though ensure your horse responds well to the single-joint action.
Measure the distance from one corner of the mouth to the other when the horse is relaxed, accounting for the width of the bit rings.
No, it is made of high-quality stainless steel, which is rust-resistant.
The single-jointed design is generally well-tolerated, but consult your trainer if the horse shows specific signs of discomfort.
The fixed eggbutt ring provides more lateral support and prevents pinching, whereas a loose-ring bit offers more 'play' or movement for the horse.
Check the fit of the bridle to ensure the bit is not set too high, which may cause it to hit the horse's teeth.
Use a specialized stainless steel polish designed for equestrian equipment and wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth.
To ensure proper fit, measure your horse's mouth carefully to select the correct width, such as the 12.5 cm or 14.5 cm options. When installing the bit on your bridle, ensure the bit sits at the correct height so that it creates one or two small wrinkles at the corner of the lips without causing excessive tension. For care, wash the bit thoroughly with warm water after every ride to remove saliva, feed particles, and grit. Use a soft sponge to wipe down the stainless steel and check periodically for any signs of wear or rough edges on the mouthpiece that could cause discomfort.
