Frequently Asked Questions

Is this bit suitable for horses with sensitive mouths?

Absolutely. The Equisential Dogbone Bit is frequently praised for its gentle action. The mouthpiece is designed to be soft on their bars, making it an excellent choice for horses with a soft or sensitive mouth, ensuring clear communication without harshness.

How does this bit aid in training and performance?

This bit is specifically engineered to enhance several aspects of your horse's performance. Its gag cheek provides valuable elevation in the shoulders, which is crucial for improved posture and engagement. Additionally, it excels in promoting better lateral control and collection, helping you refine your horse's responsiveness and overall body control during various maneuvers.

Is this a good bit for transitioning from a snaffle?

Yes, it's highly recommended! The Equisential Dogbone Bit is considered a wonderful choice for riders looking to transition their horse from a D-Ring or O-Ring snaffle. It offers a logical progression, providing more nuanced control while maintaining a gentle feel.

Why does the bit rust? Is that safe?

The rusting of this bit when exposed to moisture is a deliberate and beneficial feature, not a flaw. The natural rusting creates a sweet taste in your horse's mouth, which actively promotes salivation. This encourages a softer jaw and a more accepting, supple mouth, enhancing overall comfort and communication.

How should I properly adjust the Equisential Dogbone Bit?

For optimal effectiveness and comfort, the bit should be adjusted to fit with one wrinkle in your horse's mouth. Additionally, the curb strap should be left loose enough to allow two to three fingers to fit comfortably between the strap and your horse's chin. Proper adjustment ensures the bit works as intended and maximizes your horse's comfort.
