Harry's Horse eggbutt bradoon 18 mm

Bradoons are always used in combination with a weymouth bit. It's mainly used in the higher dressage classes and only suitable for very experiencend riders. The rings of a bradoon are smaller than rings of a normal bit. The reason for the smaller rings is to create enough space for the weymouth. You'll need a double bridle to be able to ride with a weymouth and bradoon. This bradoon has a jointed mouth piece,  When pressure is placed on the reins the mouthpiece breaks at the join. This creates an angle which gives the tongue more room than with a double jointed mouth piece.
