Bits

The flexi mouthpiece is 'warmer' than a traditional stainless steel mouthpiece, which encourages acceptance of the bit. For this reason, the flexi mouthpiece is a good choice for younger horses and those with a sensitive mouth.

The Uttoxeter Kimblewick has a port mouth and slotted rings. The kimblewick action is similar to that of a hanging cheek with the added advantage of the curb chain. The port mouth mouthpiece of the Kimblewick helps to alleviate tongue pressure, whilst the slotted bit ring can be used to change the action of the curb chain and the amount of poll pressure applied.

A single joint gives a nutcracker action. The hanging cheeks can help encourage the horse to go forward in an outline.

Sweet iron and copper encourages salivation and produces a pleasant taste in the horse's mouth. Raised copper ribs can help to prevent the horse taking too much of a hold. Three rings offer leverage options to increase severity.

The French link in this bit means pressure is applied to both sides of the tongue. Some horses with low palates may find this bit more comfortable as it is unlikely to make contact with the palate when the bit comes in to action. The full cheeks assist with steering.

The Waterford bit is composed of many different links making it hard for the horse to take a hold or lean. Waterford mouth bits should be used under supervision or by experienced riders. Mouthpiece thickness: 18mm. Cheek height: 65mm.

Hanging cheeks help to encourage flexion, whilst the lozenge prevents the nutcracker effect of a single joint.

The loose rings discourage the horse from leaning on the bit whilst the lozenge softens the contact and the copper helps encourage mouthing.

This is a traditional French link with a flat plate. It has small loose rings making it perfect for horses with small heads and those who require more movement in the bit.

This EquiKind loose ring allows movement in the horse's mouth whilst the ripples on the mouthpiece add a little pressure for extra control. Apple flavoured, very mild and perfect for mouthing young horses. Mouthpiece thickness: 18mm. Cheek height: 65mm.

The rubber mouthpiece used in this bit is strong but light and mild on the horse's mouth. Perfect for in hand or first ridden. Mouthpiece thickness

This innovation is brilliant in helping to achieve a comfortable and quiet mouth. Turtle Top™ with Flex™ keeps the mouthpiece centred and arched over the tongue at all times, encouraging relaxation.
