Sprenger KK Ultra Eggbutt Snaffle
The Herm Sprenger Dynamic RS Eggbutt earns its place as a technical alternative for riders seeking a slightly more flexible, dynamic mouthpiece that encourages acceptance and reduces nutcracker action. It is typically more affordable than the KK Ultra while offering a refined feel compared with basic snaffles, making it a strong middle ground between premium engineering and everyday usability. In this eggbutt lineup the Dynamic RS is notable for blending Sprenger’s build quality with a softer communication style than the firmer KK Ultra.

Stubben Golden Wings Eggbutt Snaffle
The Stübben Golden Wings Eggbutt is a dependable, traditionally styled eggbutt celebrated for its durability, straightforward function, and accessible price point.
