FAQs

What is the benefit of the tongue port?

The tongue port provides room for the tongue, promoting suppleness and preventing the horse from putting its tongue over the bit.

What kind of horses is this bit suitable for?

This bit is suitable for horses that do not tolerate pressure on the tongue from conventionally shaped bits and react with head-tossing.

How do I measure for the correct size?

Measure the width of your horse's mouth at the corners to determine the correct bit size.

How do I clean the bit?

Rinse the bit with warm water after each use. You can use a bit cleaner occasionally to maintain hygiene.

Is the Beris Tongue Port Eggbutt Snaffle suitable for young horses?

Yes, the shape of the bit is particularly well-suited for working with young horses.

What is the benefit of the loose ring?

The loose ring means a greater mobility of the bit in the mouth.

Troubleshooting

Horse resists contact or seems uncomfortable.

Check the bit size and ensure it fits properly. Adjust the bridle or try a different bit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Sizing: Choose the correct size for your horse. Measure the width of your horse's mouth to determine the appropriate bit size.
Placement: Ensure the bit sits comfortably in the horse's mouth. The eggbutt rings should sit against the lips.

Care: After each use, rinse the bit with warm water to remove any saliva or debris. Occasionally, use a bit cleaner to maintain hygiene and longevity.
