Choosing the Right Bit for Young or Green Horses

Young horses are especially sensitive to bit comfort.

Where and how your noseband sits can dramatically influence comfort, breathing, and balance.

The poll is one of the most sensitive areas of the horse’s body, and when tension builds here, it shows quickly through contact issues and asymmetry.

Many riders focus on bit choice when contact becomes inconsistent, but bridle fit plays an equally significant role.

Riders often think of balance as purely a training issue

Modern headpieces come in a variety of shapes, cuts, and padding styles — and each one affects pressure distribution across the poll.
