Horse Bits - FAQs

Why use Horse Bits?

The rider uses a horse bit with the reins and bridle to control the horse’s head. The bit sits in the horse’s mouth and uses pressure on the mouth and tongue. The bit communicates control signals (aids) from the rider. The bit reinforces other aids from the rider. These aids come from the rider's legs and weight distribution.

What Bits do you need for your horse?

Horse bits come in all shapes and sizes. Depending on your horse you can experiment with many different horse bit options. LeMieux partners with Acavallo to supply innovative bits for young or sensitive horses. There are also horse bit accessories such as bit rings, bit guards, cleaners, gums, and creams.

What are LeMieux Bits' benefits?

LeMieux supply Acavallo horse bits which are ideal for sensitive horses. Acavallo makes horse bits with innovative anti-allergy plastic material. These horse bits are in either a smooth or a wave pattern. These bits encourage acceptance of the bit in young or sensitive horses.

How should you look after LeMieux Bits?

After use, you can wipe LeMieux horse bits clean. You need to detach the bit from the bridle and soak it in water to clean stubborn debris. Organise your horse bits to prevent confusion. Store them in a clean and dry place to prevent discolouration.

How often should you replace Horse Bits?

Horse bits are made of durable materials that are unlikely to disintegrate. If you notice any wear and tear, you should replace the horse bit. It is more likely you notice the action or behaviour of your horse has changed. Always keep a close eye on your horse and change the bit according to their needs.
