horse bit is a piece of metal or synthetic material that fits in a horse's mouth and helps the rider communicate with the horse. It's part of the bridle and is used to control the horse's head. The bit is placed in the horse's mouth between the incisors and molars, also known as the "bars" of the mouth.





Here are some things to know about horse bits:

How it works

The bit applies pressure to the horse's mouth, which the horse feels through the reins. The horse instinctively moves away from the pressure, which moves it in the direction the rider wants.





Types of bits

The two main types of bits are snaffle bits and curb bits. Snaffle bits are more commonly used because they're generally gentler and can fit a variety of horses. Curb bits use rotation or leverage to apply pressure, and can be more dangerous if used incorrectly.







Balance

The balance of the bit affects how the mouthpiece sits in the horse's mouth and how quickly the horse feels the pressure. Over-balanced bits release pressure when the rein pressure is released, while balanced or under-balanced bits maintain pressure without rein pressure.





Material

Some horses prefer bits made of copper or brass because they taste sweet and feel warmer in the mouth than steel.





Bitless bridles

Some horse owners use a hackamore, or "bitless" bridle, instead of a bit.
