Mouth Pieces

No, mouthpiece thickness depends on the space available in the horse's mouth. A thin bit will be more comfortable for a horse with little mouth space, but not necessarily harsher. If the bit is too thick, your horse won't be more comfortable - on the contrary, it will be harder for him to close his mouth and find his contact. If the bit is too thin, it may be less stable in the mouth and cause significant pressure points. 

Moithpiece size depends on your horse's mouth. If in doubt, we advise you to measure your usual bit (between the 2 rings), or use a tool to measure your horse's mouth. If you find yourself between 2 sizes, it's best to opt for the larger size, even if it means using bit guards to make up the difference. If the bit is too tight, your horse may hurt. If your bit is too big, it will be unstable in the mouth and this can also injure your horse.

The bit should be rinsed with water after each use to remove saliva and residues. Don't forget to dry it with a towel. If impurities are difficult to remove, you can use a small cleaning brush. Never use a metallic brush, however, as the bristles may scratch the bit, making it uneven and sharp.
