Trail Pleasure
Could someone please help with bit question?
What's the best way to know what size Snaffle Bit to use on a horse and also which style snaffle seems most universal for a nice trail/Pleasure Horse? Thank you!
Bits should really be custom fitted for each individual horse. But since most people can't afford to provide that, then finding the best fit in standard sizing is all we can do.
There is no universal bit style that will accommodate all horses used for a particular activity. Snaffle styles include type of mouthpiece and the type of cheeks, with numerous choices and comfort as well as fitting issues involved with each. Preferences vary from one horse to another.
You measure the mouth from one outside corner to the other outside corner of the lips, running through the mouth as the bit will. Snaffle bits should measure 1/4 inch wider than the mouth measurement, and no more than 1/2 inch wider. I don't know why you are asking, but I would advise you to get some help from someone knowledgable if you are going to actually be bitting horses.
