SmoothShape bits are our take on the Waterford mouthpiece. SmoothShape bits are made of stainless steel bits that have been sanded down and polished for horses comfort. 

The classic Waterford is a bit that’s often used for correcting horse’s that lock their jaws or lean on the bit. The design typically include sharp or protruding links that make leaning uncomfortable for the horse.

Our take on the Waterford mouthpiece is that it need not be sharp or uncomfortable for the horse. The multiple links ensure that the bit is highly mobile and there is not much to “hang on to”.

We recommend this mouthpieces for horses that are heavy and unresponsive and need a highly mobile bit to achieve acceptance.

The elevator or dutch gag is a loose ring cheekpiece that creates leverage and pressure on the poll. It’s a great option for horses more advanced in their training and/or requiring more control.

Can be used on a single or double rein with or without a connector.

Smoothshape Mouthpiece

Smoothshape is the medium-thick option in our Waterford line. A mouthpiece with smooth edges, minimal pressure points and five links, this design is optimised for mobility and acceptance. This mouthpiece is particularly suitable for horses that can be strong and dull with the aids.

Elevator Cheekpiece

The Elevator Bit is a leverage bit designed to provide maximum control and lift, making it ideal for horses that tend to lean, pull, or become heavy in the contact at high speed situations. Featuring multiple rein attachment options, it allows riders to adjust the level of pressure applied to the poll and corners of the mouth. It can be used with or without a curb chain, offering additional customization based on the horse’s sensitivity and the rider’s needs. Commonly used in jumping and eventing, the elevator bit typically encourages a lighter forehand.

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.
