Size guide

• if a well-fitting bit is already available, this can be used as a reference for the correct size
• alternatively, measure the width of the horse’s mouth: place a bit ruler or a soft string in the mouth at the later bit position
• mark the ends and then measure the distance
• the bit width should be chosen so that the rings are just outside or slightly above the corners of the mouth
• if the bit is too narrow, it can cause pressure points
• if the bit is too wide, it can slip sideways
• in the case of bits with freely movable rings, there should be about 1 cm clearance on each side so that the rings can move freely without pinching the lips
