FAQ:
Which mouth width fits my horse?
Measure your horse's mouth beforehand, for example with a bit width gauge. For an olive head bit, it's recommended to deduct about 0.5–1 cm from the measured width, as it should sit slightly narrower than a loose ring snaffle.
Why is the centre link elliptical?
The elliptical shape spreads pressure more evenly across the tongue and avoids pressure points, noticeably improving comfort for your horse.
How do I fit the bit correctly?
Make sure the hollow side of the centre link faces the throat and the other side faces the corner of the mouth, so the bit sits correctly and comfortably.
Warning/safety instructions for bits
A bit should have the correct width for the horse's mouth, which is measured on the horse in advance. The BUSSE bit width gauge is suitable for this.
The choice of the right type of bit is individual and depends on many factors - such as the horse's level of training, its mouth shape and sensitivity, and the rider's hand. Therefore, it makes sense to try out dentures.
When strapping in the bit, make sure that it is strapped in correctly: the BUSSE logo is on the left side of the horse's head, with the hollow side of the bit pointing towards the throat and the other side towards the mouth outlet . (If the bit is correctly positioned in front of you, you can read the size label on the right shank the right way up - it is not upside down.)
It is important that the bit fits correctly into the bit straps of the bridle or curb is buckled. When buckled correctly using the bit straps, approx. 2-3 small wrinkles will form at the corners of the mouth.
The bit should be checked regularly for signs of wear, such as sharp edges, and replaced if necessary. Please only use the bit if it is in an appropriate condition that does not harm the horse's well-being.
