Loose Ring vs. D-Ring: What's the Difference?

Loose Ring: The most neutral cheekpiece is great for horses who tend to lean or get heavy in the rider's hand. The instability allows for self-correction without adding poll pressure.

D-Ring: This cheekpiece offers lateral pressure on the horse's cheeks and gives the horse a more consistent feel in the mouth. This is a great option for horses who seek the stability a loose ring can't provide.

3 Signs Your Horse Likes Their Bit

🦄 Consistent contact - they keep a steady feel in your hand, they don't go above the bit to behind it and back to above.

🦄 A Quiet Mouth - A busy mouth indicates discomfort and underlying anxiety. A quiet mouth is a comfortable mouth.

🦄 Salivation - just the right amount of salivation shows acceptance. Too little or too much isn't ideal.

What are the bars of the mouth?

The bars of the horse's mouth are bony ridges on either side of the horse's jaw that give space for the bit to sit. They don't have any teeth, and lie inbetween in incisors and the premolars. The bars are covered in millimeters of oral gum tissue, which make them susceptible to injury.

Bars can come in different shapes such as round, ridged, narrow, wide, etc. Bony anomalies can also be present on the bars making certain bits uncomfortable for our horses. Sometimes, a bit that provides bar relief or a change in positioning can help accommodate your horse's oral conformation. By using a professional, independent bit fitter, you can be certain that your horse is performing with the best fit possible!

Want to make sure your crown piece fits? Here are 3 things to look for:

🦄 Space behind the ears. If it feels like it's pushing into the ear, it doesn't fit.

🦄 Even splits that are hidden by the browband loop. If they are more than 1 cm above or below, your crown piece is causing problems.

🦄 Anatomical cutouts? Does it fit with the natural curve of your horse's ears, if not it's a no - go.
