Draft Bits

Draft horses require specially designed bits that accommodate their larger heads and strong jaws while ensuring comfort, control, and effective communication. We carry a variety of draft horse bits, including Kimberwickes, snaffles, and western curbs, from trusted brands like Korsteel, Stubben, and Weaver Equine.

Kimberwick bits are a popular choice for riders seeking a balance between snaffle and curb action. These bits offer mild leverage and are often used for stronger draft horses that need more control without the severity of a full curb. Korsteel and Stubben both offer high-quality Kimberwickes with durable stainless steel construction and thoughtfully designed mouthpieces.

Snaffle bits are an excellent option for basic training and everyday riding. They provide direct pressure without leverage, promoting responsiveness and comfort. Draft-sized snaffles from Weaver Equine and Stubben are crafted to fit larger mouths and are ideal for driving, schooling, or light work.

For Western riders, curb bits provide the leverage and precision needed during ranch work or competition. These bits use shanks and a curb chain to apply pressure across the poll, chin, and mouth. Weaver Equine offers Western curbs designed for the size and strength of draft horses, ensuring effective communication and a secure fit.
