Whether you need a classic Snaffle bit, a Pelham bit, an EggButt bit or a specially designed bit for Icelandic horses, we have the right equipment for your horse.
Choosing the right bit is important for both the horse's mouth and the Rider's hand. A well-fitting horse bit sits correctly in the mouth, distributes pressure evenly and ensures good contact between horse and Rider. This makes Riding more comfortable for the horse and makes it easier for the Rider to convey precise signals.
An ill-fitting Bit, on the other hand, can cause discomfort in the horse's mouth, create tension or even pain, which can lead to inappropriate behavior such as running, opening the mouth, avoiding the rein or not wanting to suck on the Bit. That's why it's important to choose a Bit that suits the horse's anatomy, temperament and the level of the Rider.
If you have a sensitive horse, finding the right Bit can be a challenge. Sensitive horses often react strongly to small pressures in the mouth, which can make it difficult to achieve stable contact and relaxed Riding.
The signs that your horse has a sensitive mouth can be many. A sensitive horse will often:
If you experience any of these signals it could be a sign that your current Bit is not suitable for sensitive horses and it's time to try a Bit for a sensitive horse.
When choosing a bit for a sensitive horse, it's important to look at both shape and material. Many Riders have good experiences with:
A good choice of Bit can give the horse confidence in the Bit and create a more relaxed Riding. We would also recommend using the Catago Gentle Bridle if you have a sensitive horse or are looking for super quality. The Catago Gentle Bridle has been developed with the horse in mind to ensure that the horse always gets the best possible riding experience.
Do you have a strong horse that easily gets heavy in the hand or takes control when riding? Then it can be beneficial to choose a Bit for strong horses to help achieve a better balance between the Rider's hand and the horse's mouth.
Stronger horses often have a lot of momentum or are strong in the front, which can make it challenging to ride with ease and precision. A good horse bit can give you more control without being sharp or uncomfortable for the horse.
You may need a special Bit for strong horses if your horse:
It's important to find a good Bit, that is stable in the mouth and provides a clear but gentle contact.
There are many different Bits that can help create better balance for daily training. A classic choice is a pelham bit, which allows the degree of impact to be adjusted with the chain strap and reins, giving the Rider extra control. Many also choose an anatomically shaped EggButt bit or split bit that ensures stability and comfort in the horse's mouth.
Do you have a horse that tends to run away from the hand or get too eager while Riding? Then choosing the right Bit for a running horse can make a big difference. When a horse runs, it can be due to tension, lack of balance or simply a strong forward will.
When choosing a Bit for a running horse, it's important to find a model that sits comfortably in the mouth, supports a solid contact and helps the horse relax its neck and back. A good Bit can improve balance and make it easier for the Rider to regulate the pace without having to use too much hand.
When a horse opens its mouth while Riding, it's often a sign that something in the Bit or contact is causing discomfort. Many riders find that it can be difficult to find a good horse bit that makes the horse relax and close its mouth. However, with the right horse bit, you can create a more comfortable experience for both horse and Rider.
A typical sign of discomfort is that the horse constantly opens its mouth, chews uneasily on the Bit or withdraws from contact. In some cases, this may be because the Bit is positioned incorrectly, pressing inappropriately against the corners of the horse's mouth or creating sharp pressure points in the mouth. If you see these signs, it's a good idea to consider changing the bit.
When choosing a Bit for young horses, it's important to take into account that young horses are still in training and still need to learn to accept contact and work relaxed with the bit.
When breaking in young horses, you should choose a Bit that fits well and securely in the mouth and doesn't create unnecessary pressure or discomfort. It's important to remember that the horse's mouth is still developing and that the teeth and corners of the mouth can be more sensitive. Therefore, the Bit should be gentle and allow the horse to seek out the contact without being disturbed.
Among the horse Bits best suited for young horses, EggButt bits and D-ring bits are particularly popular choices. These types of Bit fit comfortably in the mouth, making it easier for the horse to find comfort in contact. A simple 2-piece bit is also a classic and gentle solution for young horses, as it is easily understood by the horse and distributes pressure evenly.
Choosing the best Icelandic Bit depends largely on the individual horse's needs, anatomy and the way you ride. Icelandic horses often have a slightly different mouth structure than other horse breeds, so it may be necessary to choose an Icelandic Bit that takes into account both the horse's anatomy and the specific gaits such as tölt and pas.
The best Bit for Icelandic horses can vary from Icelandic horse to Icelandic horse. It has a lot to do with your Icelandic horse's training, the horse's needs and the riding style. At Unamari, you'll find many different horse bits that can be a great fit for your Icelandic horse.
Choosing the right Bit for your horse can be a challenge because there are many factors to consider. A horse bit needs to suit both the horse's mouth and temperament, while matching the needs of the Rider and the discipline being ridden.
When choosing which Bit to use, it's important to first look at the horse's anatomy. The width of the palate, sensitivity of the corners of the horse's mouth, the set of teeth and the fullness of the tongue, among other things, have a big impact on which Bit will lie correctly and comfortably.
Next, the horse's experience and sensitivity play an important role. A young or sensitive horse will often need a more gentle horse Bit that lies gently in the mouth, while a more experienced horse can go with a Bit that allows more precise signals.
At Unamari you will always find a large selection of horse Bits. We carry different types of horse bits from well-known brands like Neue Schule and Horse Guard, and you can choose from everything from classic snaffle bits, three-piece bits, baucher bits, EggButt bits and much more.
Whether you are looking for new bits for young horses, a Hangers bit for stronger horses, a bit for sensitive horses, you will find it right here with us. Do you have any questions or are you unsure which horse bit to choose? Then don't hesitate to contact us.
You should choose a Bit based on your horse's anatomy, training level and sensitivity, as well as how you as a Rider want to ride. For example, is your horse sensitive in the mouth, strong in the hand or young and inexperienced? A properly fitted Bit provides a calm contact and a relaxed horse.
When measuring the Bit size for your horse, measure the length from the inside of one bit ring to the inside of the opposite bit ring. The Bit should be fully extended during the measurement. The thickness is measured just inside the bit ring. When the bit is in the horse's mouth, there should be a maximum of 5 mm of air on each side.
For young horses, it is usually recommended to start with a EggButt bit or D-ring bit. This type of Bit has firm rings and a soft shape, which ensures the Bit is stable in the mouth and helps the young horse find a safe and correct contact.
