WEAVER BITOLOGYWhen you're shopping for bits, you'll see all sorts of interesting contraptions. Some seem big and powerful, others look too small to communicate with a 1000-pound horse. Here, we'll help you understand how bits work, describe the most common types of bits, and provide expert advice to help you select the bit you need. Keep in mind that bits are intended to work with your body's cues as you direct your horse. If you're looking for a bit to solve your horse's behavioral problems, consult a trainer instead. No bit can fix everything--and there's no perfect bit that works well on every horse. That said, Weaver Leather offers many bit types. Use our step-by-step guide to learn about bits and gain valuable information that will help you shop. Please ask your horse's trainer for additional help.
