The Korsteel Stainless Steel Mullen Mouth Fixed Cheek Eggbutt Weymouth Set is a complete double bridle bit combination tailored for advanced schooling and dressage. This set features a Mullen Mouth Fixed Cheek Weymouth alongside an Eggbutt Jointed Bradoon. The unjointed curb bit distributes pressure across the tongue, while the single-jointed bradoon provides the refining secondary aids necessary for double bridle work. Both bits utilise fixed cheek designs to isolate bit movement, offering a still, confidence-building contact for horses moving up the levels.
Key Specifications:
- Mouthpiece (Weymouth): Solid mullen mouth (a gentle, slightly curved rigid bar).
- Mouthpiece (Bradoon): Single-jointed snaffle designed with smaller rings to comfortably fit a double bridle.
- Cheekpiece Style: Fixed cheek shanks (Weymouth) paired with Eggbutt rings (Bradoon).
- Material: Premium-grade 18/8 stainless steel.
How it Works:
- Dual-Rein Communication: The set operates using a double bridle configuration requiring two independent sets of reins.
- The Weymouth (Curb) Action: When the lower curb rein is engaged, the fixed shanks pivot to create leverage. This applies simultaneous pressure across the poll, the lower jaw (via the curb chain), and the bars of the mouth, encouraging the horse to flex at the poll and lower its head.
- The Eggbutt Bradoon Action: Operating identically to a standard snaffle bit, it applies pressure directly to the tongue, lips, and mouth bars. It allows the rider to refine turning cues and maintain standard lateral contact.
- Stability & Anti-Pinch: Both the eggbutt loops and fixed curb sides hold the mouthpieces completely stable. This prevents the sliding friction common with loose rings and eliminates pinching at the corners of the lips.
This bit is fully legal for British Dressage (BD) and FEI and British Eventing (BE) where double bridles are permitted.
