Weymouth Bits

Weymouth bits, also known as curb bits, are an essential component of a double bridle used in advanced English riding disciplines such as dressage and saddle seat. These bits are designed to be used in conjunction with a bradoon (a type of snaffle), providing the rider with refined, independent control of the horse’s head and poll. We offer high-quality Weymouth bits from trusted manufacturers like AlBaCon and Myler, each known for craftsmanship and equine comfort.

AlBaCon Weymouth bits are crafted from German silver (a nickel-free alloy), offering a warmer feel in the horse’s mouth to encourage softness and acceptance of the bit. AlBaCon designs are known for their traditional style and excellent balance, making them ideal for riders looking to maintain classical performance standards.

Myler Weymouth bits, on the other hand, are engineered with the horse’s anatomy and learning process in mind. These bits often feature a more ergonomic design, with a focus on tongue relief and even pressure distribution. Myler’s curved mouthpieces and independent side movement offer enhanced communication while helping to reduce resistance and discomfort.

Weymouth bits apply leverage to the horse’s poll and curb groove, and they require an educated rider with quiet hands to be used effectively. They are not suitable for beginner riders or young horses but are perfect for horses that are ready for upper-level training and showing.

When choosing a Weymouth bit, consider factors like shank length, port height, and material. Whether you're preparing for competition or refining your horse's advanced training, our Weymouth bits balance precision, comfort, and control.
