CHOOSING THE CORRECT BIT FOR YOUR HORSE

FIT IS KEY TO A CONTENTED AND RECEPTIVE HORSEIt is not just the mouthpiece that changes size for a smaller or larger bit, the ring and cheek* size can vary according to the mouthpiece size too.

These sizes are indicated as measurements A or B at the end of the bit descriptions which correspond to the diagram above. *Where the bit has cheeks, e.g. hanging cheeks or Pelham, the measurement given is for the cheek rather than the ring.

For the correct height a straight bar bit should sit neatly into the corners of the mouth and a jointed one just high enough to create gentle wrinkles.

Description

Full cheek, brass alloy snaffles are useful for green horses or young horses as they can help with steering. The cheeks on the bit create a positive action against the horse’s cheeks when asked to turn. The full cheek design also prevents the bit being dragged through the horse’s mouth.

Brass alloy is formed when copper is alloyed with a harder metal, this produces a warm and durable material which is perfect for horse bits as it can aid salivation and be more palatable to the horse. The central lozenge encourages a softer contact, reducing the nutcracker action of a single jointed bit which is ideal for young or sensitive horses. Distributes pressure evenly across the tongue and bars of the mouth for a smooth performance.

  • Full cheek shanks
  • Double jointed, durable brass alloy mouthpiece with lozenge
