It all starts with your horse’s anatomy and training stage! Softer bits like loose rings or Inno Sense mouthpieces are ideal for young or sensitive horses, while more structured options like Pelhams or Kimblewicks suit experienced horses needing refined control. Always match the bit’s action to your rein contact style and your horse’s natural response.
Sweet Iron bits are loved for encouraging salivation, which softens the mouth and promotes acceptance. The metal oxidizes slightly (yes, the blue tinge is a good thing!) to create a taste horses find appealing — making it a subtle yet powerful way to improve connection and responsiveness.
If your horse resists mouth pressure or has had dental issues, a hackamore or combination bit offers control through the nose and jaw instead. They’re great for sensitive types or for disciplines like endurance and show jumping where comfort and head freedom matter. Just be sure the fit is exact — these bits work on leverage.
Gag bits create poll pressure by lifting the bit when the reins are engaged — helping to elevate the horse’s front end. They’re a popular choice for strong horses in fast disciplines like show jumping or hunting, but they should be used with soft hands and ideally under a trainer’s guidance to avoid overuse.
