Bit For A Horse

Comfortable Fitting for Dressage, Jumpers, and Eventers

Fitting a bit to be comfortable and effective in its action is an art as well as a science. Conformation of the mouth and head are exceptionally important. Thick tongues, lips, or low palettes interfere with bit action, so to ensure your horses comfort please see the entire discussion at www.hcsusa.blogspot.com.

How a bit actually aids is dependent on the shape of the skull, problem you wish to solve, and the use of that bit by the rider. Understanding what each mouthpiece offers and how each cheek functions is crucial.
