Key Features
-
Non-ToxicNon-Toxic
Bits that are made from non-toxic materials, unlike most plastics, rubbers, and metals, are a safer option for horses who need a gentler bit.
-
Increased PalatabilityIncreased Palatability
Bits that increase palatability often incorporate sweet metals (such as copper and iron) or flavored plastics which encourage the horse to salivate, relax their jaw, and accept the bit. They may be inlaid into the bars, be the roller or lozenge, or make up the entire bar.
-
Leverage PressureLeverage Pressure
These bits use indirect pressure that multiplies the amount of force exerted on the horse's mouth, nose, or poll. They are used by riders who have little to no contact or are looking for more finesse and control.
-
Direct PressureDirect Pressure
Bits that use direct pressure have a 1:1 ratio where the pressure exerted on the reins will be the same pressure felt in the mouth. They are used by riders who often have contact with their horse's mouth.
If you are having trouble finding a suitable bit for your horse, the Fager Sally Titanium Hunter Dee Ring Bit may be just what you are looking for. This bit has a lightweight double-jointed anatomic titanium mouthpiece with a copper center roller. A great choice for those hard-to-fit horses, this bit is suitable for horses with large tongues and low and/or short palates. The Sally bit evenly distributes the pressure between the tongue and bars, encouraging a horse to be lighter and less stiff in the bridle. The hypoallergenic, tasteless titanium adapts to the temperature of the horse's mouth, encouraging the horse to accept the bit. The Dee ring sides assist with steering, framing, and keep the bit from sliding around in the horse's mouth. The double joint provides gentle and clear signals, assisting in harmonious communication between horse and rider.
