Description
Bit Bandage Single - Self-Adhesive Bit Wrap for a Softer Mouthpiece
Bit Bandage Single is a self-adhesive, flexible bandage that wraps around the mouthpiece of a horse's bit to make it feel softer in the mouth. It is designed for riders who want to cushion the bit they already have, and it can be used on any bit, from jointed snaffles to mullen and straight-bar mouthpieces.
Each pack contains one bandage measuring 3.8 cm wide by 140 cm long, enough to wrap a single mouthpiece. It is a practical choice for youngsters being introduced to a bit, for horses with a sensitive mouth, and for everyday schooling and hacking.

How to Use
- Remove the bit from the bridle and make sure it is clean and completely dry.
- Start at one end of the mouthpiece and hold the end of the bandage in place.
- Wrap in overlapping turns along the mouthpiece, keeping an even tension so the surface stays smooth and free of ridges.
- Press the final end down firmly so it bonds to itself, and trim off any excess.
- Refit the bit to the bridle and check the thickness still sits comfortably in the horse's mouth.
- Inspect the wrap before each ride and replace it once it becomes loose, worn or soiled.
FAQ
What is a bit bandage used for?
It is wrapped around the mouthpiece of a bit to give a softer, padded surface. Riders use it on young horses starting in a bit, on horses with a sensitive mouth, or simply to change the feel of an existing bit without buying a new one.
Will it fit my bit?
Yes. The bandage is flexible and can be used on any bit, including jointed, double-jointed, mullen and straight-bar mouthpieces. One 140 cm bandage covers a single mouthpiece.
Does it stick to the horse's mouth or to the bit?
No. It is self-adhesive, which means it bonds only to itself where the layers overlap. No tape, glue or stitching is required.
How many bandages are in a pack?
One pack contains one bandage measuring 3.8 cm x 140 cm. Packs are supplied from a display box of 24.
How often should the bandage be replaced?
Check it before every ride and replace it when it becomes loose, frayed or soiled. Frequency depends on how often the bit is used and how the horse chews.
Does wrapping the bit make it thicker?
Wrapping adds a small amount of bulk to the mouthpiece, so check that the bit still sits comfortably in your horse's mouth and that there is adequate room, particularly with thicker bits or horses with a low palate.
