Why Use Leather Bits?
Leather bits offer a variety of benefits,
-Stemming from their softness, flexibility, and natural properties. -Promoting relaxation and encouraging salvation
-Leather is naturally softer than metal or synthetic materials, reducing the risk of irritation or injury to the horse's mouth.
-When wet, leather softens and conforms to the unique shape of the horse's mouth, providing a more comfortable fit
-Unlike cold metal bits, leather is warm to the touch, which can be more appealing to horses
-The natural texture and taste of leather encourages the horse to chew and salivate, which helps to relax the jaw and neck muscles.
Promotes Relaxation:
-The softness of leather makes it less likely to cause injury or discomfort
-Leather bits, especially those made with vegetable-tanned leather, are generally safe for horses to chew, unlike some synthetic materials that can be harmful if ingested.
-Leather bits can be beneficial for young horses, sensitive horses, and those who dislike metal bits.
-When used correctly, leather bits can allow for clear and effective communication between horse and rider.
-While generally safe, excessive chewing can damage the bit so as with any bit maintenance is essential.
-Leather bits may require occasional oiling to maintain suppleness and prevent drying out.

These Bits are made from Veg-tan leather which is a natural product and may vary in colour and have natural occuring cosmetic flaws.
Although we uphold the highest standards in our workmanship we do not guarrentee any bit.
We strongly recommend proper care of your bit to extend the life of the bit by keeping it clean and oiled. Washing with warm water and oiling with a vegetable or coconut or olive oil.
Before initial use dip the bit in warm water and oil allowing the bit to become malleable. The more your horse wears the bit the more it shapes to that individual. We do recommend one horse uses the bit
