Caelo Balanced Contact Sweet Iron Eggbutt Bit

Caelo Balanced Contact Sweet Iron Eggbutt Horse Bit

Designed for clarity and stability in the contact, the Eggbutt cheekpiece offers more direct communication—making it a reliable choice for horses that benefit from clearer guidance in turning and steering.

The Balanced Contact mouthpiece features a 3-piece lozenge design with a subtle locking mechanism that limits over-closure—reducing bar pressure and preventing the jaw squeeze commonly seen in traditional jointed bits. It folds softly without collapsing onto the tongue, maintaining light, consistent support.

The fixed Eggbutt rings provide a more stable feel than loose rings, reducing movement through the mouth and allowing for more precise rein aids. This can be particularly helpful for horses that require clearer direction or support in steering.

Well suited to horses that prefer consistency in the contact, including younger horses in training or those that can feel vague or unsteady in a loose ring.

• 14mm mouthpiece thickness

A practical choice for flatwork and early education, where developing confidence in turning, balance, and connection is the priority.

Care note: Sweet iron naturally rusts with use, creating a taste that can improve acceptance.
