The WTP Lightweight Dee ring Eggbutt with Extended Plate is used in all riding disciplines and is rated by riders and trainers for the benefits this design brings especially for horses that put the tongue over the bit. There is no other bit designer that has been able to achieve a more comfortable solution to providing comfortable tongue pressure as opposed to tongue relief to remove any objections from the horse that has a sensitive tongue.The WTP plate prevents bit pinching and reduces tongue pressure by 85% proven under engineering conditions due to its wide surface area.The extended plate addition helps with preventing horses who are persistent in putting their tongue over the bit either for relief from discomfort, but quite often this can be due to a habit forming after a bit that is uncomfortable has been used for sometime.
The bit arms have limited travel reducing outer ring pressure preventing pain to the cheeks and lips by reducing the nut cracker action of the traditional snaffle. The bit design geometry is angled to remove any pain to the roof, tongue and bars of the horses mouth during active rein take up and removing any chance of soft palate displacement.
This horse bit design has been known to assist with horses that are displaying signs of a busy mouth or objections to a bit, and where the tongue is being put over the top of the bit while hanging in the horses mouth or out of the side of the mouth.
