An essential piece of equestrian equipment, horse bits sit in the horse's mouth and allow you to communicate with them through the horse bridlesand reins. Decathlon specialise in high quality products at affordable prices, so whatever your budget, you'll be able to find the perfect equestrian equipment with us. Take a look at our wide range of bits to suit your horse's needs. We also have a great selection ofhorse halters, as well as horse lunging equipment to keep your horse fit and to help improve their balance, rhythm and gait.

SNAFFLE BIT

It's important to select the correct bit for both your riding level and your horse's needs. D-ring snaffle bits are jointed and provide a moderate amount of pressure — they're considered more gentle than twisted bars. A loose ring snaffle is even more gentle so it's a good option for beginner riders, but more experienced riders might prefer a bit that provides more subtle control. Straight bits have more impact on the tongue. It makes them softer, but not all horses work well with pressure on the tongue rather than the cheeks.

RUBBER BITS FOR HORSES

Stainless steel is a popular choice for horse bit as it's a hard-wearing metal, however, it does take a little while to heat up in the mouth, so you should warm it up in your hands on a cold day. And as it's a hard metal, it's more likely to cause damage, and wear and tear to the horse’s teeth compared to a slightly softer metal. Rubber and plastic bits are often good for a sensitive mouth. However, as they don’t slide over the skin as readily as metal, rubbing is a common problem. Also, if your horse chews on the mouthpiece it could become rough, sharp and injure his mouth. For safety, you should ensure your bit has a metal core as these are harder for a horse to break through.

Your horse's health is paramount, and our collection of equestrian equipment has everything you need to ensure your horse or pony is comfortable and happy whether they're in the stable or the field. Don't forget to take a look at our stable sheets and rugs which have been designed to keep horses warm, cool, and free from flies.
