Explore Trusted Horse Bits for Training, Riding, and Performance

Horse bits may look simple, but they play a vital role in riding and training. They’re the bridge that connects a rider’s cues to a horse’s actions, helping guide everything from gentle signals to precise commands.

Our collection holds plenty of options to find the perfect choice for you and your beloved horse, with trusted equestrian brands like JP Korsteel, Collegiate, and Gold Label as part of the mix.


Understanding Different Types of Bits

Bits come in all shapes and styles, each suited to different kinds of horse riding.

Loose ring snaffles are a trusted favourite for everyday work, as they’re straightforward; applying direct pressure to the horse’s mouth, making them ideal for training young horses or teaching new commands. If you’re working with a seasoned horse or diving into something like dressage, a curb bit could be the right choice, offering added control through leverage.

For those lively horses that like to have their own say, a gag bit might be the answer, giving you just that extra bit of control by letting the bit lift in the horse’s mouth when needed.

And if you’re after a bit that blends both direct action and leverage, the Pelham offers a mix of both worlds – it’s popular for show jumping and eventing in particular.


Choosing the Right Material

Material matters as much as the type of bit.

Stainless steel is durable and straightforward to clean, so this is ideal for bits that see a lot of use. Sweet iron, on the other hand, encourages a bit more salivation, which can make things more comfortable for your horse; it’s a top choice for snaffles.

If you’re after something softer, rubber-covered bits offer a gentler feel, which can be kinder for young or particularly sensitive horses.


Getting the Perfect Fit for Your Horse

When fitted correctly, the bit should rest just slightly against the horse’s lips without creating wrinkles or gaping. To measure, start from one corner of your horse’s mouth to the other – this ensures the bit is neither too tight nor too loose.

An ill-fitting bit can lead to discomfort, lack of control, and even behavioural issues, so it's worth taking some time to get it right.


Maintenance Tips for Horse Bits

Regular cleaning keeps your horse bits in good shape, as dirt and saliva can build up, making the bit uncomfortable over time.

A quick rinse after each ride helps, but a deeper clean every now and then keeps things fresh and prevents wear. It’s a small step, but it means a lot to the horse’s comfort and the bit’s longevity.
