There's nothing like the Olympics to get you inspired

If you’re anything like us, the Olympics had you gripped, loving every minute of the Equestrian coverage. There really was some inspiring rider and horse partnerships!

A bit can make or break that partnership, so here’s some ideas for the most popular bits to use for each discipline.

Slimma Double Bits Set

This combination gives the horse a lightweight set of bits, both designed to sit unobtrusively in the mouth. The Tranz Bridoon is a good shape and thickness to encourage a good contact and prevent the horse backing off the hand.

Neue Schule Tranz Angled Universal

Control WITHOUT severity - My FAVOURITE bit for jumping. The tranz angled mouthpiece maintains a consistent gentle pressure in the mouth while the universal creates mild leverage to control the stride and stop the head toss before or after the fence.

Bombers Happy Tongue Williams

When precision is Key! The williams cheek piece is very fast acting, great for the dull horse or in those situations where response and action is crucial.
