Answer 1

I've never used a "loose ring eggbutt"  but a loose ring indicates that the rings are not permanently attached to the mouthpieces, alowing the rings to slide as contact is applied via the reins.  The rings can be flat or rounded.

An eggbutt snaffle has flares at the ends of the mouthpiece, which are intended to prevent the horse having the corners of his mouth pinched where a loose ring and the ends of the mouthpiece would be in contact.  This bit usually has the ends fixed to the rings, not loose.

A Dee ring has rings shaped like a D, and applies a little pressure to the side of the horse's mouth, and does not pull through the horse's mouth so easily when making using a  strong leading rein  to the side.  I assume "thin" refers to the thickness of the mouthpiece which can vary from very thick to quite thin, and is a variable in every bit type.

"Thin mouth flat ring eggbutt":  translates, a thin mouthed, flat ring eggbutt. (shoule be self-explanatory, at this point)  Hope this helps.

PS there are many  bit types, and hundreds of variations of all of them.

Answer 2

umm...I'm confused....I don't know wat ur talking about sorry

Answer 3

I am not familiar with those buits but here are some similar ones.

D-Ring Smooth snaffle- really mild bit, usually used on young horses or jumpers.

Thick D-Ring Twisted snaffle- has a little more bite to it than a smooth d-ring.

If you can think of more bits I am sure I can help you out further.

Hope this helps!

Answer 4

loose ring eggbutt snaffle = used for breaking and training as it is fairly mild and exerts pressure on the bars of the horses mouth.

D - ring snaffle = similar effects to an eggbutt. fairly mild and does not pinch like the loose ring.

flat ring eggbutt bit = helps keep the bit positioned correctly, mild and the most commonly used. another bit for training young horses

Answer 5

The two thin bits will apply more pressure than the Loose Ring Eggbutt. The D-Ring will pinch your horse the least. The Eggbutt and D-ring will not rotate in your horse's mouth.
