"Apple-Scented" Mouth Bits
 |
Designed for English riding horses, the soft plastic bits stimulate chewing and promote relaxation, making them ideal for horses that have difficulty with other bits, says Comfort Equestrian Ltd., Orangeville, Ont. The substance used to give the bits a pleasant apple scent is also used in the human food industry and is harmless to the horse.
The plastic bits are flexible and more comfortable than steel bits. It puts the horse at ease so it performs better.
The bits are available in many styles including loose-ring snaffles, eggbutt snaffles, pelhams, dee-rings, and full-cheek snaffles. They're available in several sizes, from 4 1/2 to 5 3/4 in.
They retail for $48 to $93 plus S&H, depending on the design.
