When it comes to horse bits, the options available to riders seem endless. It may appear impossible to decide on which one is right for your horse.
The rings are in the shape of a “D”. The hinge helps to keep the horse’s mouth from being pinched by the bit as it moves.
The pelham bit is a unique combination of a snaffle and a curb bit and great for training a horse or gently switching it to a curb bit from a snaffle.
Hackamores are not bits, it is a bridle that is designed to place pressure on a horse’s head without the use of a bit.
Not every bit will work for every horse. Harsher bits require experienced riders to avoid injuring the horse. Watch your horse’s mouth for injuries.
