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.

Why sweet iron and copper?

Answered by The Connected RiderSweet iron oxidizes to a warm, sweet taste and copper encourages salivation, which helps a horse accept and soften to the bit. Light rust on sweet iron is normal and part of how it works.

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.
