Can't find A Loose Ring Eggbutt French Link....

[Forget_Me_Not]

As the title says... This bit *or similar* In a french link? Anybody know where to find one? If they are even made? Not sure if a different make calls them something else?

They only sell the shires single joint http://www.thesaddleryshop.co.uk/product...37361a5e0092334 Tried pintchless and from ones I've found not quite what I'm looking for but thanxs.

KK do them now with a lozenge. Used to be barnsby who were cheaper!

But KK brought the design off them.... www.bitworld.com had them, may be worth giving them a ring.....

 

[KatB]

Sorry should be www.bitworld.co.uk

 

[lorenababbit]

couldnt get the picture to load from your link so not sure what you want because loose ring and eggbutt dont usually go in same title! bit world are really good though they have everything!

How about this

I have one of them, got it from shop4bits.com. Heres the link for it:
http://www.shop4bits.com/item--French-Link-Loose-Ring--French-Link-Loose-Ring.html

I also brought my waterford hanging cheek from there as well. They're really good cause they give you a 30 day trial to check its what you want.

I have a 6" loose-ring french link just lying around in my tack room....

First thing; you have to figure out whether you want a loose ring OR an eggbutt - they are totally different bits. Try Derby House; they have a great selection of bits.

 

[spaniel]

I had the same thought initially but there does seem to be a loose ring that has the eggbut type end on it, presumeably to stop it from pinching.

Doesnt make much sense to me but there you go!

 

[Tia]

Ahh like a Myler one? There was nothing on the original link.

 

[Chex]

I think the original link was to one like this:
http://www.thesaddleryshop.co.uk/product_info.php/cPath/153_186/products_id/971

 

[spaniel]

Yes. Not really an eggbut but more a gentle sort of curvey thing at the edges!

I thought all these new bits were a little confusing until I stopped to look at tendon boots! My goodness its like NASA technology in our tack shops now!

 

[JM07]

only bit i can think of with both "loose rings" and an "egg-butt" is a full cheek snaffle...
is that what you mean??

Yes, that's what I thought. I would love to see one if they do exist though

 

[JM07]

similar to this......?

[KatB]

Its on a link above the bit she is looking for....

 

[Tia]

Oh I wish they would just stop mushing up names of things! They should really give it a totally new name - the bit Chex has posted the link to isn't a loose-ring OR an eggbutt so why do they insist on calling it both

. Silly, silly, if you ask me.

 

[JM07]

agreed.........

......that isn't an egg-but, sorry......

 

[KatB]

Out of interest what would you call it Tia? It has loose rings, but has the bit attached to the bit like an eggbut, so would be interested to know? Trying to think what barnsby called it...!?

 

[Tia]

I'd call it a Free Ring Barrel Bit

. I think that describes it pretty well don't you?

 

[KatB]

Lol!! Yep reckon that could pass!!

 

[Dotilas]

Mikmar make them

 

[dieseldog]

Call it something really posh and you could add another £50 to the price
