Mouthpieces

All mouthpieces (MP) are hand forged iron "sweetened" with copper inlay.

The standard width size is 5"; Arabian size is 4-3/4".

We have over 56 mouthpieces to choose from and have grouped them by height.
These are approximate heights:
  Lower 1"& under
  Low is 1"- 1-1/4"
  Medium 1-1/2"
  High 2"
  Higher 2-1/2"
  Extra High 3" to 4"

Low includes the various snaffles & the Lower MP. High includes the spade bits.

Any of these MP can be made in the height and combination you need -- i.e. with or without a copper cricket, with or without a copper hood. Just let us know what you want.

TO ORDER A HORSE BIT, first choose the cheek piece by going to the main section HORSE BITS WITH SILVER (either by By Style, By Theme, By Brand, Custom, Without Silver, or Most Popular
Then, use the drop menu options there to select of the MP and angle.

This section of the website describes the specifics of the various mouthpieces. You can also see the drawing below to decide the MP angle you want for your bit. In this section, you can purchase individual mouthpieces by themselves OR request a "Repair" job (if you want us to change the MP of your current used bit).

We get many calls asking for bits by mouthpiece name. To facilitate & expedite your search, we have grouped some horse bits by mouthpiece.

To search for a particular mouthpiece in the SEARCH box (at the top right corner of the screen), type the word "mouthpiece" followed by the MP number WITHOUT a space in between. For example: "mouthpiece11".

After the drawing below, you can see a list of the different MP heights (groups of them). It's very useful information.
