SmoothRide bits are made of stainless steel bit that has been sanded down for horses comfort.

This bit features a curved mouthpiece as well as cleverly designed lozenge with a copper roller which continues along the anatomical shape of the bit. The curvature in this bit creates a mild tongue relief if worn in the classic way.

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 than many other alternatives.

We find that horses that resist the flat links often seen in classic double jointed snaffles tend to like the smoothness of this bit.

This bit features a bradoon cheekpiece which is often used in combination with a Weymouth curb mouthpiece in a double bridle for upper levels of dressage training and competition.

We recommend sizing up quarter size and using bit guards if necessary with this cheek piece.

Smoothride Mouthpiece

SmoothRide mouthpiece features a curved mouthpiece as well as cleverly designed lozenge with a copper roller which continues along the anatomical shape of the bit. A gentle , medium thickness starter option for horses at various stages of training.

Loose Ring Bradoon Cheekpiece

Bradoon bits have smaller ring diameters than regular sized snaffles and are typically used in a double bridle. The Loose Ring cheekpiece is designed to encourage softness and responsiveness. The freely rotating rings allow the bit to move independently from the mouthpiece, preventing the horse from leaning or bracing against it. This mobility promotes relaxation, added responsiveness and a lighter connection. Loose ring is a great option for horses that need refinement in aids due to higher level work or those that can sometimes feel stiff in the connection and would benefit from more responsiveness.

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.
