FAQs About Horse Bits, Bridles & Accessories
How do I choose the right bit for my horse?
Start with a basic snaffle unless your horse has specific training needs. Consider mouth shape, responsiveness, and riding goals. A softer bit is always recommended for young or sensitive horses.
What’s the difference between a snaffle and gag bit?
Snaffles apply direct pressure and are commonly used for general riding. Gag bits apply leverage and are typically used for more advanced control or eventing.
Should I use a bitless bridle?
Bitless options can be great for horses with mouth injuries, strong bit resistance, or riders wanting a gentler option. Always introduce bitless gradually with groundwork.
How often should I check or replace my bridle?
Inspect your bridle regularly for worn stitching, cracks, or rust. Leather should be cleaned and conditioned regularly. Replace any worn pieces immediately for safety.
Do you sell individual bridle parts?
Yes – we offer nosebands, cheekpieces, reins, and other fittings so you can replace or upgrade your current bridle without buying a full set.
