SmoothLink single jointed bits are made of stainless steel bits that have been sanded down and polished for horses’ comfort.

This bit features a smooth single jointed link mouthpiece to avoid any unnecessary pinching.

The loose ring, eggbutt, elevator and gag bits of this line can be used “upside down” to provide mild bar relief and give you a hint whether your horse prefers more pressure to be directed towards the center or the side of the tongue above bars.

We find this to be a great starter bit and a less expensive alternative to other premium bits as it is versatile, generally well accepted and tends to take up less space in the horse’s mouth without being unnecessarily harsh.

The gag cheekpiece delivers pressure on the poll and corners of the mouth by pulling through the gag rings on the bit which creates a leverage effect.

This cheekpiece is ideal for the rider that wants to control the amount of leverage and poll pressure applied throughout the ride and only apply it selectively.

Must be used with gag cheek ropes and a second rein.

Mouthpiece Thickness: 15mm

Ring Width: 80mm

Smoothlink Mouthpiece

This mouthpiece features a smooth single jointed link to avoid any unnecessary pinching. The loose ring, eggbutt, elevator and gag bits of this line can be used “upside down” to provide mild bar relief and give you a hint whether your horse prefers more pressure to be directed towards the center or the side of the tongue above bars.

Polo Gag Cheekpiece

Gag bits accentuate the upward, lifting action of the snaffle against the corners of the mouth and also transferring part of the pressure on the poll. Typically used in show jumping and eventing cross-country phase these bits give rider more control in higher speed and adrenaline settings. We recommend using any gag bit in a double rein set up to maximise comfort and it's corrective potential.

Stainless Steel

Stainless steel is a highly durable, non-rusting metal that remains smooth and neutral in taste. It is one of the most common materials for bits due to its strength and longevity. Unlike sweet iron or German silver, it does not encourage salivation, but it provides a reliable and maintenance-free option. To care for stainless steel bits, rinse with water and dry after each use, polish occasionally to maintain shine, and disinfect with mild solutions when necessary.
