Pick your english riding bit. English bits for horses are available in a variety of styles. Snaffle bits are the most common, usually seen on horses that are being trained. Pelham bits are commonly used for schooling and general riding. Curb bits are typically used by riders who prefer a little more control.

Find the Perfect English Riding Bit for Your Horse

Whether you are training a green hunter prospect, guiding a seasoned dressage schoolmaster, or gearing up for a grand prix jump-off, communication starts with the right connection. At State Line Tack, we offer one of the most comprehensive online selections of English horse bits, featuring top-rated brands trusted by riders across the country. From classic loose ring snaffles to technical leverage bits, find exactly what your horse needs to perform at their absolute best.

Exploring Types of English Bits

Every horse’s mouth anatomy and training level are unique. Understanding the mechanics of different English bits helps you make the most comfortable choice for your partner:

  • English Snaffle Bits: The foundation of English riding. Snaffles work on direct pressure (one pound of hand pressure equals one pound of pressure in the mouth). Choose from Eggbutt snaffles to prevent pinching, Dee-ring (D-ring) snaffles for extra lateral guidance in the arena, or Loose Ring snaffles to encourage relaxation and chewing.
  • Pelham & Kimberwick Bits: Offering a blend of direct and leverage action. A Pelham bit utilizes two sets of reins to mimic a full bridle setup, while a Kimberwick offers a milder curb action with a single rein, ideal for added control out on the trail or in the jumping ring.
  • Full Bridles & Weymouth Curbs: Designed for upper-level Dressage, the Weymouth curb works in tandem with a small snaffle (bridoon) to allow for the ultimate refinement and subtle micro-signals.

Premium Brands and Innovative Materials

We stock the sport’s leading tack manufacturers to guarantee exceptional craftsmanship, safety, and durability:

  • Korsteel & Centaur: Industry standards for dependable stainless steel work-horse bits that stand up to daily training.
  • Myler Bits: Renowned for their ergonomic, curved mouthpieces that distribute pressure evenly and offer independent side movement.
  • Neue Schule & Stubben Steeltec: Engineered using advanced metal alloys like sweet copper to stimulate salivation and encourage a softer acceptance of the contact.
  • Happy Mouth Bits: Features a gentle, apple-flavored polyurethane coating, making them an excellent choice for young horses, sensitive mouths, or cold winter mornings.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know what size bit my horse needs?

Most standard horses wear a 5-inch bit, while larger warmbloods or drafts may require a 5.5-inch to 6-inch mouthpiece. Ponies typically range from 3.5 to 4.5 inches. To get the perfect fit, use a bit measure tool or a piece of string across your horse's mouth, adding an extra 1/4 inch of clearance if you are using a loose ring style to prevent the cheeks from pinching the lips.

What is the difference between a single-jointed and a double-jointed bit?

A single-jointed bit creates a "nutcracker" action when reins are pulled, putting pressure on the bars of the mouth and the roof of the palate. A double-jointed bit (often featuring a French link, oval bean, or Dr. Bristol link) lies flatter across the tongue, distributing pressure more evenly and preventing the bit from poking the top of the horse's mouth.

What is the difference between an English snaffle and a curb bit?

An English snaffle is a non-leverage bit where the reins attach directly to the bit ring in line with the mouthpiece, providing a 1-to-1 ratio of direct pressure. A curb bit uses shanks to create leverage, multiplying the rider's hand pressure and distributing it across the bars of the mouth, the chin groove via the curb chain, and the poll.

When should I use a Pelham bit instead of a traditional snaffle?

A Pelham bit is used when a rider needs the direct tuning and lateral guidance of a snaffle combined with occasional leverage to encourage a horse to flex at the poll and lift their back. It is popular in the hunter and equitation rings for horses that require subtle leverage control without using a full double bridle setup.

How should an English bit fit in a horse's mouth?

An English bit should clear the horse's lower canine teeth and rest comfortably on the bars of the mouth. Optimally, there should be roughly one-quarter inch of clearance on each side between the horse's lips and the bit rings or shanks to prevent pinching, causing one to two soft wrinkles at the corners of the mouth.

Are Happy Mouth or rubber bits legal for horse shows?

Many rubber and synthetic mouthpieces are perfectly legal for local and rated competitions, including USEF hunter/jumper and USDF dressage events, provided they meet specific thickness and structural guidelines. Always check your specific discipline’s current rulebook before entering the show ring.
