Frequently Asked Questions

Why are bit guards important for my horse's comfort?

Bit guards are crucial for protecting your horse's sensitive mouth. They create a soft buffer between the bit rings and the corners of the mouth, preventing painful pinching, rubbing, and chafing. This is particularly beneficial for horses with sensitive skin or when using loose-ring bits, which can shift more. A comfortable horse is a happier, more responsive, and more willing partner in their work.

Are these silicone bit guards difficult to apply or maintain?

Absolutely not! Unlike traditional rigid rubber bit guards, our Shires Silicone Bit Guards are "super stretchy," making them incredibly easy to slip on and off your bit without a struggle. The high-quality silicone is also remarkably durable, retains its shape, and is very easy to clean with just water, ensuring excellent hygiene and a long lifespan.

How will these 'One Size' bit guards affect my bit's fit or stability?

The 'One Size' design is engineered to fit most standard bits effectively. While they add a slight amount of material at the bit ends, this is generally negligible and does not significantly alter the overall balance or make the bit too small. In fact, they help stabilize loose-ring bits by providing a consistent interface, preventing the bit from sliding through the horse's mouth. Always check the fit once applied to ensure your horse's continued comfort.
