Horse Bits

Horse bits are a necessity for riding, but for the rider it can be difficult to choose the right bit for their horse. Snaffle or Pelham? Kimblewick or Gag? There’s plenty of options when it comes to the style of bit, not to mention different mouthpieces, materials and manufacturers.

At Chelford Farm Supplies, Cheshire, we’re a leading UK stockist of saddlery supplies and equestrian products, including a huge range of bits for horses. Among this range are a variety of industry leading equine brands, including Neue Schule, Bombers Bits, Sprenger and Jeffries.

Bombers Bits are made from a blue sweet iron which has been specifically developed by the Bomber Bits team to help your horse to accept the bit as the sweet iron encourages the horse to salivate. These instantly recognisable blue bits are favoured by riders from all disciplines, and have been individually designed to address different training or equine behavioural issues. The Dressage Happy Tongue Swivel Bit will release as many pressure points as possible, as the large D-Ring swivels independently to encourage flexion. The Portuguese 2.5 Ring Happy Tongue is another popular bit from the collection, and the intelligently designed curved and ported mouthpiece will relieve pressure on your horse’s tongue.

Another popular brand of horse bits is Neue Schule. Meaning new school in German, the brand developed a new way of thinking when it comes to bitting horses. With styles such as the Verbindend, Tranz Angled Lozenge, Turtle Top and Team Up, the Neue Schule range has something for every horse and rider. The Starter Loose Ring Snaffle is an ideal first horse bit and is a gentle and confidence-building bit to introduce to your horse, while the Tranz Lozenge Universal is a popular choice for jumping horses as this gag bit will give the rider greater control without discomfort for the horse.

Jeffries Saddlery is an English Saddlers company who produce quality and cost-effective stainless steel horse bits. Ranges among the Jeffries Bit collection include Elondian and Happy Mouth, and you’ll find traditional and modern bits of all varieties, including Pelhams, Snaffles, Dutch Gags, Straight Bar Bits, Waterfords and many more.

Whether you’re seeking a bit for breaking a young horse, a bit to provide some brakes on the cross country course or a smart bit for the show ring, our extensive selection has got you covered.
