Questions & answers

What mouthpiece size do I need?

Answered by The Connected RiderMost horses take a 5″ mouthpiece. Arabians and smaller horses often need 4 3/4″, and big-headed horses 5 1/4″ to 5 1/2″. Measure across the mouth at the corners, or check the size stamped on your current bit.

Do I need a curb strap?

Answered by The Connected RiderYes. Shanked bits need a curb strap or chain to work correctly. Adjust it so you can fit two fingers between the strap and the chin.

How do I care for it?

Answered by The Connected RiderRinse the bit after every ride to remove saliva and feed, dry it, and check the mouthpiece and joints for wear before you ride.

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.
