Beris bits are non-metal bits made from a flexible material around a steel core, shaped to fit the horse’s mouth. They are a good fit for a horse that goes better without metal, or one that needs a softer, quieter feel than a steel mouthpiece gives.
Many Beris mouthpieces come in more than one density, so you can choose a softer or a firmer feel within the same shape. The main mouthpieces we stock:
The range is broad. Snaffles come as D-rings, full cheeks, eggbutts, loose rings and hanging cheeks, and there are Butterfly (elevator) cheeks, Kimblewicks and Pelhams, including Swales Pelhams. For jumping there are 3 ring, Balding, Cheltenham and Nelson gags and a curb gag. Beris also makes driving bits in the same material, including Liverpool and tandem bits.
A flexible mullen mouthpiece behaves differently from a jointed one. Our guide to the mullen mouth bit explains how, and is worth reading before you choose a density.
Beris bits are sold outright and are not part of the Bit Bank trial. A number of Beris bits are in our clearance section at reduced prices, so check there before you order.
