The WTP DSEL EP (Dee Snaffle Eggbutt Lightweight) is the most popular of the WTP bits for race horses. The DSEL has straight-arms with a single-jointed mouthpiece which is designed to give stability to the horse and encourage them to stretch forwards and down to the contact.

The DSEL EP is ideal for sensitive horses who need stability and security in the contact.The Extended Tongue Plate is an option instead of using a tongue tie. It reduces the displacement of the soft palate and tongue and prevents the tongue hitting the epiglottis.

The WTP bit design prevent pinching of the tongue, roof rubbing and poor contact. The unique mouth piece reduces the bit pressure by unto 85% and with the arms having limited movement the pressure placed on the horse’s cheeks is also reduced.

Fitting the DSEL EP – Like regular bits, look for 1-2 wrinkles in the skin at the corner of the mouth with around 5mm either side of the mouth to prevent rubbing. The WTP logo should be facing the roof of the horses mouth.
