Questions & answers

How do I pick the right bit size?

Answered by The Connected RiderMeasure your horse’s mouth from corner to corner with a bit measure or a piece of string. A snaffle should show about 1/4″ on each side, and a loose ring a little more so the rings don’t pinch.

Which bit is right for my horse?

Answered by The Connected RiderEvery horse is different, and how strong a bit feels depends on the rider’s hands and the horse’s sensitivity. Ask your trainer, or use Ask a question and we’ll help.

A good fit

  • Width: about 1/4" of mouthpiece should show on each side of the mouth. Measure across the mouth at the corners, or check the size on a bit that fits now.
  • Height: adjust the headstall so the bit makes one or two soft wrinkles at the corners of the mouth.
  • Curb strap: fit two fingers between the strap and the chin. It should engage when the shanks rotate back about 45 degrees.
  • Leverage: longer shanks and a longer purchase give more leverage, so match the bit to your horse's training.
