Platinum German Silver Eggbutt with LozengePlatinum German Silver Double jointed Eggbutt with lozenge. The German silver mouthpiece has a pleasant, sweet taste. This encourages chewing and salivation. Lozenge reduces the nutcracker action and takes unwanted pressures off the edges of the tongue as well as reducing the pressure on the palate. The D Rings prevent the bit from being pulled through the horses mouth, so it lies more steadily on the tongue giving a more comfortable feeling.
