The mouthpiece of this bit is an improved version of the most classic bit horse trainers have used for centuries. The double broken design helps relieve pressure on the horse's palate while the loose rings can facilitate subtler signals.

Our ComfortWave mouthpiece features a curve to conform to the shape of the horse's mouth and encourage acceptance of contact. The lozenge features a larger than usual surface area with no sharp edges to distribute pressure evenly on the tongue.

German silver develops a sweet taste when in contact with the horse's saliva and has a slightly softer and warmer feel compared to stainless steel or other metals commonly used for bits. This characteristic can make the bit more comfortable for some horses, as it may feel gentler against their sensitive mouth tissues and improve relaxation.

This bit features a Hunter Style D ring cheekpiece which is a fixed cheekpiece that offers more stability. The extended bar on the cheekpiece adds support which makes it a good choice for horses that might struggle through turns.

Mouthpiece thickness: 4.75" and up - 16mm; 4.5" and below - 13mm

Ring Size: 70mm x 55mm

Comfortwave Mouthpiece

The ComfortWave mouthpiece features a curve to conform to the shape of the horse's mouth and encourage acceptance of contact. The lozenge features a larger than usual surface area with no sharp edges to distribute pressure evenly on the tongue. A gentle bit it balances the pressure over the tongue and bars.

Hunter Dee Cheekpiece

The D Ring cheekpiece is a gentle yet versatile choice and is suitable for all training levels. It can be useful to think of a D Ring cheekpiece as a hybrid between the eggbutt and the full cheek offering both stability and enhanced lateral control by applying some pressure on the cheeks when steering. D-Ring cheekpieces are particularly popular in the Western and Hunter rings.

German Silver

German silver is a copper-rich alloy made of nickel, copper, and zinc that promotes salivation and offers a warm feel in the mouth. It is more resistant to oxidation than sweet iron but still encourages bit acceptance due to its composition. While it does not rust, it may tarnish over time. To maintain it, clean with warm water and mild soap after each use, avoid harsh abrasives to preserve the finish, and polish occasionally to prevent discoloration.

So far so good

New to us pony was ridden in a Mullen which she chomped on a lot. Switched her to a French link and she was still chewing. Purchased this bit (super fast shipping) and the pony is now very quiet and going nicely in this bit! Happy for the small sizes as they aren’t readily available in local tack shops

Thank you so much for the lovely feedback! We’re thrilled to hear your pony is going nicely and feeling more settled in this bit, it’s always rewarding to find that perfect match. So glad the smaller size options and fast shipping made things easier too! Wishing you and your pony continued success and happy rides ahead.

The most perfect pony bit!

I recently purchased as I have a young medium pony I am breaking and wanted something comfortable for him. It is so hard to find pony sized bits and this is built so beautifully. He loves it and it’s helping him learn to accept the contact.

Thank you so much for this lovely feedback! We’re thrilled to hear your young pony is loving the bit and finding comfort and confidence as he learns to accept the contact. It means a lot to us to support early training moments like this, especially when pony sizing can be so tricky to find! Wishing you both a smooth and happy journey ahead.
