Used alone or with a headstall, the FEELING Leather Bit + Curb Chain is a soft bit that promotes a gentle action and optimal comfort.

Designed to provide a respectful action and soft contact, this bit is ideal for highly sensitive horses, those that refuse contact with a traditional bit, or have been injured in the mouth and require a delicate adjustment.

Perfect for a gentle introduction to the bit, it is also suitable for use with young horses in training.

Fully crafted from leather, this unique bit features multiple layers of leather, with the curb chain extending directly from the mouthpiece to avoid any stitching on the sensitive areas of the horse’s mouth. Neither hot nor cold, it protects the mouth from any unpleasant sensations during preparation.

The FEELING Leather Bit + Curb Chain perfectly conforms to the shape of the horse's mouth, taking on an anatomical shape that reduces pressure and provides great comfort.

This soft, durable, and lightweight bit encourages the horse to engage with the rider's hand, stretch its reins, and work its top line.

Some horses may change their behavior from the first session, while others might need several sessions to adjust to this new bit.

For the FEELING Leather Bit + Curb Chain to take the shape of the horse’s mouth, the horse should be able to chew and play with it. However, care should be taken to ensure its correct placement to avoid accidental biting.

To maximize the benefits of this bit, it is recommended to be used by only one horse.

The FEELING Leather Bit + Curb Chain can be used with reins alone but also features rings for attaching reins and bridle straps.

Caution: This bit is not suitable for all horses, particularly those ridden in a bridle with a loosely fitted curb chain who tend to chew their bit. This leather bit can wear out quickly, so it is crucial to check the condition of the bit before each use. For these reasons, we cannot guarantee the lifespan of this bit. Depending on its use and care, it could also last for several years.

Usage Tips

Before first use, soak the bit for 15 minutes in sunflower oil.

Position it on the rear bars and adjust the curb chain so you can fit a finger between the chin and the chain.

After 15 minutes, check the adjustment of the curb chain.

To maintain the leather’s flexibility and strength, regularly soak the bit in sunflower oil.

Do not use leather oil.

Clean the bit after each use with a soft brush.

For horses with respiratory issues, the bit can be soaked in a prescribed emulsion for an hour before use. The horse's chewing during work will help a gradual absorption, providing a better effect than if the emulsion were administered all at once.
