Choosing the Right Bit for Young or Green Horses

Young horses are especially sensitive to bit comfort. Their first experiences with contact will shape their future training, so choosing the right bit early on is essential.

What Young Horses Need

  • Stability

  • Soft, even pressure

  • Gentle shaping that suits their developing mouth

  • A calm, confidence-building introduction

Why a Fitting Helps

A professional fitting ensures the bit is the correct size, thickness, and style — helping the horse learn confidently rather than developing tension patterns.
