Intended Use

This bit bandage is designed to be wrapped around the mouthpiece of any bit to soften contact with the horse’s mouth. It is ideal for horses that show sensitivity or resistance to standard metal bits, offering a gentle barrier that can help improve rider-horse communication without altering bit function.

Fit and Application Guidance

• Measure the bit mouthpiece and cut a piece approximately 10 to 15 cm long from the bandage.
• Begin wrapping from the outside of the bit, proceed to the inside, and then back to the outside to secure the bandage firmly.
• Wrap as tightly as possible to prevent slipping during use.
• For horses requiring extra cushioning, additional layers can be applied by repeating the wrapping process.

Care Instructions

• Ensure the bit and bandage are clean before application to maintain adhesion.
• Inspect the bandage regularly for wear or loosening and replace as necessary.
• Store unused bandage in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Buyer Checklist

• Confirm the bit size to cut the appropriate length from the bandage.
• Check that the bandage adheres securely to the bit before riding.
• Assess your horse’s comfort and adjust the number of layers if needed.
• Plan for timely replacement to maintain effectiveness and hygiene.
