About Metalab

Metalab specialises in high-quality bits and spurs engineered for clear communication and long-term durability. The range spans classic stainless-steel designs, copper-rich alloys that encourage a softer mouth, and modern flexible mouthpieces to improve acceptance and comfort.

Why riders choose Metalab

From everyday schooling to the show ring, Metalab focuses on precise aids and horse comfort. Consistent build quality, thoughtful mouthpiece profiles and well-finished cheekpieces help riders deliver subtle cues while protecting sensitive tissues.

Bit technologies: Cyprium-90, Flexi & stainless

Cyprium-90 is a copper-based alloy designed to promote salivation and relaxation, while Flexi mouthpieces use a soft, warm-to-the-touch synthetic over a steel core for gentler feel. Traditional stainless-steel options round out the line for riders who prefer crisp feedback.

Spurs: refined control

Metalab spurs cover rider preferences from classic Prince of Wales to rounded, hammer-head and rubber-coated “soft touch” styles, along with various rowel options—allowing you to select subtle, discipline-appropriate reinforcement for the leg aid.

Choosing the right bit

Start with correct width (measured across the mouthpiece between the inside edges of the rings/cheeks) and match thickness to your horse’s mouth conformation—many horses go well in the 14–18 mm range. Then select a cheek style (e.g., loose ring, eggbutt, D-ring, full cheek, Pelham, gag) that suits your rein feel and steering needs.

Caring for bits and spurs

Rinse bits after each ride and periodically deep-clean to prevent build-up around joints. Wipe spurs clean and check straps and keepers. Flexible or coated mouthpieces should be cleaned gently and kept away from sharp edges to preserve the surface.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Metalab known for?

Metalab is a metalwork specialist within the Lami-Cell group, known for bits, spurs and bridle accessories using the Lost Wax casting technique and a wide range of alloys including stainless steel and the copper-rich Cyprium-90. The brand is the exclusive manufacturer of the Pessoa Magic System bits, developed in cooperation with show jumper Rodrigo Pessoa, and produces Bernard Fonck signature anti-collapse and slow-twisted bits for competitive driving.
What Metalab products do you stock?

We carry Metalab specialised bits across the snaffle, Pelham, gag, combination and Pessoa Magic System ranges, including the Bernard Fonck signature line and the Cyprium-90 copper-rich alloy bits. We also carry Metalab spurs in classic and rounded Prince of Wales, hammerhead, hexagon-rowel and soft-touch patterns, plus Metalab bridle accessories (curb chains, bit guards, soft-padded leather chains) and braiding bands.
Are you an authorised Metalab dealer in Ireland?

Yes. Equijump Ltd. is an authorised Metalab stockist in Ireland and carries a substantial portion of the bit and spur range with full manufacturer warranty cover.
How do I choose the right Metalab product for my horse?

For a bit, the Metalab range covers most mainstream mouthpiece and ring patterns - tell us your horse's mouth width, current bit and any contact issue you're working on and we'll shortlist appropriate Metalab options. The Pessoa Magic System line is worth a specific look if your horse responds well to copper rollers. For spurs, fit, length and shank pattern depend on your boot and discipline; the soft-touch range suits riders moving up from no spurs.
How do I care for Metalab products?

Rinse bits in warm water after every ride and dry before storing. Stainless steel needs nothing more. Cyprium-90 develops a slight surface patina with use; this is intended and shouldn't be polished off. Spurs need an occasional wipe-down to clear sweat from the shank and rowel. Metalab bridle accessories (curb chains, bit guards) clean with a damp cloth.
Where are Metalab products made?

Metalab is part of the Lami-Cell group and manufactures across multiple sites - the bits we stock come primarily from Vietnam and Germany depending on the model, and the spurs primarily from China. If country of origin matters for a specific Metalab product, ask us before you order.
