Equine Bits

At Equijump, we understand that selecting the right bit is crucial for both horse and rider safety, comfort, and performance. Our carefully curated collection of equine bits represents the pinnacle of quality craftsmanship and innovative design, ensuring optimal communication between horse and rider.

How do quality materials and construction enhance the safety and performance of Equine Bits?

The foundation of every quality bit lies in its materials and construction. Our leather horse bits feature premium-grade stainless steel mouthpieces that resist corrosion and maintain structural integrity over time. The precise engineering of our specialised bits ensures even pressure distribution and optimal comfort for your horse.

Superior craftsmanship extends to every component, from the perfectly balanced cheek pieces to the smoothly polished joints. Our baucher bits exemplify this attention to detail, combining traditional design principles with modern manufacturing techniques for enhanced stability and control.

What safety features and testing standards are implemented in our Equine Bits range?

Every bit in our collection undergoes rigorous safety testing to meet international equestrian standards. Our D-ring horse bits feature carefully engineered connection points that prevent pinching while maintaining secure contact. The rubber bits for horses incorporate specially formulated compounds tested for durability and oral safety.

We maintain strict quality control processes, including:

  • Material composition verification
  • Structural integrity testing
  • Surface finish inspection
  • Joint movement assessment
  • Pressure point analysis

How can riders ensure proper fit and adjustment of Horse Bits for optimal comfort and control?

Proper fit is paramount for both safety and effectiveness. Our comprehensive fitting guide helps riders select the appropriate size and style from our all horse bits collection. Consider factors such as:

  • Mouth width and shape
  • Tongue sensitivity
  • Training level
  • Riding discipline requirements

Professional fitting services are available through our network of qualified retailers, ensuring your horse receives the most appropriate bit for their individual needs.

  • Daily cleaning after use
  • Weekly deep cleaning and inspection
  • Proper storage in dry conditions
  • Regular checking of all moving parts

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What bit brands do you stock?

The main bits collection carries Trust Equestrian (the Inno Sense flexible synthetic, sweet iron and leather lines) and Poponcini (Italian classic stainless). For specialist patterns from Sprenger, Metalab, Nathe and Lami-Cell, see our separate specialised bits collection.
How do I choose the right bit for my horse?

Start with mouthpiece (single-jointed, double-jointed, mullen, ported), material (stainless, sweet iron, leather, flexible synthetic), and cheek pattern (loose ring, eggbutt, D-ring, full cheek, hanging cheek, Pelham, gag). Most horses do well in a snaffle in their preferred material. Move to a Pelham or gag only if you genuinely need more brakes than a snaffle offers. Tell us your horse's mouth width, current bit and what you're working on and we'll shortlist.
What is the difference between Inno Sense, sweet iron and leather Trust bits?

All three are full Trust Equestrian bit lines from the Netherlands and they target different responses. Inno Sense uses a flexible FDA-approved synthetic mouthpiece around a stainless steel core - warmer and softer than metal, used for sensitive horses and young horses. Sweet iron develops a natural rust-like patina that encourages chewing and salivation through taste - don't polish the patina off. Leather wraps a stainless core in saddlery leather for the gentlest possible mouthpiece - typically used for horses returning to work after lay-off or in contact retraining.
How do I size a bit correctly?

Measure the width of your horse's mouth at the corners using a piece of string or a dedicated bit-measure tool. Pick a bit that sits with about 5mm clear on each side - not pinching the corners, not loose enough to slide. Most bits come in 1cm increments. Mouthpiece thickness is a separate variable: thinner mouthpieces (10mm-14mm) feel more direct, thicker ones (16mm-20mm) spread pressure over a larger area.
Do you stock pony bits and specialised bits?

Yes - Trust Equestrian and Poponcini both make Baby Pelhams, smaller-diameter snaffles and shorter cheek patterns suitable for ponies. For specialised bits including Sprenger KK Ultra, Metalab Bernard Fonck and Pessoa Magic System, Nathe flexible mullen mouth bits, and Lami-Cell hackamores, see our specialised bits collection.
How should I clean and care for a bit?

Rinse in warm water after every ride to clear saliva and feed. Stainless steel needs nothing more. Sweet iron should be rinsed but not polished - the patina is intentional. Synthetic mouthpieces (Inno Sense, Nathe) clean with a soft brush; avoid abrasive scourers. Leather mouthpieces should be dried thoroughly before hanging up and conditioned occasionally with a leather balm. Inspect rings, joints and mouthpieces regularly for wear.
