How do I choose the correct size?

What are the advantages of the eggbutt cheeks?

Troubleshooting

Horse resists contact with the bit.

Check the bit's fit and ensure it's the correct size. Consider consulting with a professional to evaluate the bit's suitability for your horse.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Sizing: Ensure the bit is the correct size for your horse. Measure the width of your horse's mouth at the corners and select a bit size that allows for some room on each side.
