I was hoping someone had used the Sprenger Dynamic RS Eggbutt Snaffle and could give me a bit of advice before I take the plunge to purchase!
 
Hi had one on trial together with a NS trans lozenge eggbutt snaffle.
Preferred NS as it didn't look so bulky in my horses mouth, plus the sprenger was quite a lot heavier. Horse didnt go any better in the sprenger, so decided to go with the cheaper NS option.
Hope that's of some help :D
 
I use one regularly, I changed from the WH loose ring as my chap was being a bit chompy (is that a word??!), put him in the RS eggbutt with a drop and he goes really well in it. I thought he may lean due to the eggbutt but he doesn't at all, his mouth is still and he has a small amt of dribble, which is good for him as he's not that generous when it comes to a wet mouth......well worth the money IMO....but then I'm not a neue schule fan ;)!!!
 
Hi, I know a quite a few people who use the NS, inc 3 of which teach/ride professionally, so use/see them being used a lot, never heard anything negative about them from anyone. That's not to say that things dont go wrong with them, but it's just not my experience. :)
 
I've got one and George goes really nicely in it, he can be a bit of a leaner (he is a big chunky shire x), but suprisingly doesn't lean too much in this. I did try a NS verbindend and hanging cheek before this and he really didn't get on with them and he made a feel mess of the mouthpieces as the metal is so soft.

I was lucky that I managed to get my sprenger off ebay for a really reasonable price :)
 
Just be aware of sizing, I wasn't aware of his, but my horse is normally a 5.5" bit, I was advised to go down a quarter of an inch for the RS eggbutt, something to do with he shape, the 5.25" fits him perfectly ;)
