Getting your bit fitting to your horse is important for a number of reasons. First and foremost, a poorly fitting bit can cause discomfort, pain, and even injury to your horse's mouth, which can lead to reluctance to take the bit, poor performance, and ultimately, reluctance to work.

​

Additionally, a poorly fitting bit can be a cause for behavioral problems such as head-shaking or excessive mouthing. The right bit will  allow in acceptance of aids  and clear communication with the rider,  improving overall performance. A well-fitting bit will also allow the horse to relax, reducing tension and anxiety. Proper bit fitting can also help prevent dental problems and reduce the risk of oral injuries that can result from ill-fitting or poorly adjusted bits.

By investing the time to get your bit fitted to your horse, you are ensuring a safe, comfortable, and productive ride for your horse.
