Premier Equine Leather Bit Converter Coupling 25cm
Description
Premier Equine Bit Converter - Leather Coupling for In-Hand, Lead Rein & Lungeing
The Premier Equine Bit Converter is a 25cm leather coupling that attaches to both bit rings and gives you one central point to clip a lead chain or lead rope to. It is best for handlers doing in-hand work or showing, parents leading a child on the lead rein, and anyone lungeing from the bit who wants pressure shared evenly across the mouthpiece rather than pulling from one side.
Crafted from European leather with contrast stitching and finished with solid brass fittings, it is a simple piece of kit that keeps the bit level and the horse straighter when you are working from the ground. Browse more Premier Equine saddlery and yard equipment.

FAQ
What does a bit converter do?
It joins both bit rings and gives one central ring to attach a lead chain or lead rope to, so any pressure is shared across both sides of the bit instead of pulling the mouthpiece sideways.
How long is the Premier Equine Bit Converter?
It measures 25cm in total length.
Can I use it for lungeing?
Yes. It is designed for in-hand work, lead rein riding and lungeing, giving a central attachment point for the lunge line.
Will it fit my bit?
It attaches to the rings of standard loose ring, eggbutt and similar bits. Check the width of your bit rings against the fittings before use, and make sure the converter hangs level once attached.
What is it made from?
European leather with contrast stitching, finished with solid brass fittings.
How do I care for it?
Wipe clean after use, dry naturally away from direct heat and condition with a leather balm. Inspect the stitching and brass fittings before every use and retire it if you find any wear or cracking.
