Which bit is this?

[Meredith]

My horse was ridden previously in this bit. Sorry I don't have the bit so I can't take a better photo. Does anyone know what it is? Similar bits I have seen have the lozenge the other way up. I would ideally like it as an eggbutt or hanging cheek. Thanks

It's just a loose ring snaffle with a lozenge they will do them in an eggbutt or hanging cheek.

The lozenge looks as if it is probably a NS (Neue Shule) Tranz bit.

 

[Meredith]

Thanks I will look at the NS Tranz

 

[Meredith]

Thanks Pearlsasinger but I don’t think it is a Tranz. The link to the lozenge looks as if it is turned 90 degrees

Does it have any markings on it at all? Sometimes they have a name etched or printed on

 

[Meredith]

Sorry I only have this picture, not the bit.

Could it be a Shires Loose Ring Copper Lozenge snaffle? I had a hanging cheek version for my old boy.

Edited to add: Didn’t realise it was the way it was sitting you were highlighting. Sorry!

 

[neddy man]

Will the previous horse owner send you better pics, or sell it to you?

 

[Meredith]

Thanks jenn44uk I will look at Shires

 

[Meredith]

No to both questions

Also worth a look at eBay seller Cotswold Sport. They do fab copies of expensive bits!!

This mouthpiece perhaps but with SS rings.

Ah That looks promising. Thank you

I have one exactly the same. It was a cheaper copy of a Sprenger lozenge bit. I can't remember who the maker was, but I hate the gold coloured rings as they don't stay as clean as the stainless of a Sprenger.

IS this it do you think?

This is not the brand of mine, but this is the nearest I could find on Fleabay…
