Bits

If your horse is tentative into the contact (inconsistent), the NS Tranz Eggbutt offers the stability within the mouth needed to boost the horse’s confidence encouraging it to seek the bit, taking the rein forwards. Very beneficial for short tense necks and excellent for directional control. Unlike traditional Eggbutt designs, combining this NS cheek and NS Tranz mouthpiece, feel and response is not lost and the horse is far less likely to lean and fix against the hand.

Anatomy-inspired double jointed bit design with enhanced mouthpiece stability, through optimised alignment of the mouthpiece surfaces to the tongue and palate.

Hanging cheeks help to encourage flexion, whilst the lozenge prevents the nutcracker effect of a single joint.

A snaffle bit is a basic bit and is well accepted by most horses. The double-jointed mouthpiece puts more pressure on the tongue. German silver has a pleasant sweet taste and heats up quickly.

An in-hand bit, the Chifney is not designed for use while riding and can be severe - use with care. Good for horses that are difficult to lead - the leadrope attaches to the loose ring at the back of the bit. Chifney bit strap available separately. Stainless steel is the most common material for bits. Durable, easy to clean, tasteless and does not rust.

Fine hand-polished blue steel finish that gives off a taste enjoyed by the horse and stimulates salivation. Curved to reduce the "nutcracker" action and to alleviate pressure on the tongue and bars of the mouth. Prevents contact with the roof of the horses mouth. Allows for effective communication between horse and rider whilst encouraging relaxation and salivation. A mobile bit which discourages fixing and leaning on the forehand.

The tongue port bar has a specially flattened shape to the port. This means the tongue has an optimum amount of room. Many horses respond to this with improved suppleness and increased chewing. This bit is also very well suited to horses that play with their tongues, trying to put the tongue over the bit, as the port effectively prevents this.
