Bit Placement
After deciding what style of bit you need. Slim or Wrapped with a core. What cheek pieces you require. Then you need to know what size bit you need. We measure our bits laid flat. The measurement is from cheek piece to cheek piece. We suggest for loose rings or gags to size up 1/4”.
Each bit has a T stamped on the left side. The T should face upwards and on the left side of your horses mouth. Slim Coreless bits the stitching is at the top. Wrapped bits the stitching faces away from lips towards the front. Each bit is pre oiled. We suggest you dip the bit in water before your first few uses. After use clean lightly with water then oil. After your first few uses oil onl
Bit placement suggested is one or two wrinkles at the corners of your horses mouth. Place the bit where your horse is most comfortable. In our experience if your horse chews the bit excessively and all health related and training issues have been addressed going up in size 1/2” has helped alleviate excessive chewing.
Each horse carries the bit slightly different. Leather bits allow your horse to shape and carry the bit in a more comfortable way. Allowing them to relax. This is an example of a Wrapped leather full cheek that has been in use for several years. The horse prefers a slight forward mullen shape.
