About Metalab horse bits
Metalab builds precise, horse-friendly bits that balance clear aids with comfort. From classic stainless steel snaffles to copper-rich Cyprium-90 and soft-feel Flexi mouthpieces, the lineup helps riders fine-tune contact and acceptance in training and the show ring.
Materials and feel
Cyprium-90 promotes salivation and relaxation, while Flexi mouthpieces use a soft, warm-to-the-touch synthetic over a steel core for a kinder feel. Traditional stainless steel provides crisp feedback and long-term durability when you want direct, consistent communication.
Cheek styles and control
Pick loose ring for mobility and a livelier feel; eggbutt or D-ring for stability and reduced pinching; and full cheek for extra lateral guidance. For stronger horses, Pelham, gag, or elevator styles add measured leverage—always matched to educated hands and your discipline’s rules.
Width, thickness, and fit
Measure width straight across the mouth between the inside edges of the cheeks/rings, allowing a small clearance at the lips. Match thickness to mouth conformation: thinner profiles can suit small mouths or low palates; moderate thickness often feels milder if the bit fits comfortably and sits quietly.
Discipline-ready options
Whether you’re bringing along a green horse, polishing flatwork, or managing enthusiasm between fences, Metalab offers single- and double-jointed options, lozenges and rollers, plus shaped mouthpieces to support steadier, more confident contact.
Care and maintenance
Rinse after every ride and deep-clean periodically to remove residue at joints. Wipe Flexi/covered mouthpieces gently and avoid abrasives; replace if coatings show wear. Clean cheeks and curb chains, and check straps and hooks regularly.
