LeMieux Shaped Rubber Bit Guards

Improve your horse’s comfort around the mouth with the LeMieux Shaped Rubber Bit Guards, practical accessories designed to sit on either side of the bit to help reduce the risk of pinching and rubbing around the corners of the mouth.

Thanks to their shaped design and flexible rubber construction, they create an additional protective layer between the bit rings and the horse’s mouth while remaining discreet and functional as part of the bridle.

Protection for the corners of the mouth

The LeMieux Bit Guards are positioned between the bit rings and the horse’s mouth.

They help create a protective barrier around the corners of the lips, making them particularly useful for sensitive horses or with certain types of bits where the rings may cause pinching or rubbing.

They can therefore help improve the horse’s comfort during work, whether for everyday riding or more intensive training sessions.

Shaped design for an improved fit

Unlike traditional completely round bit guards, this LeMieux model features a shaped profile designed to follow the natural contours of the horse’s mouth more closely.

This allows the guards to sit neatly on either side of the bit and provides a more tailored fit.

Their ergonomic profile therefore combines protection, comfort and a discreet appearance.

Soft and durable rubber

The bit guards are made from rubber, providing the flexibility required to comfortably accommodate the movement of the bit.

The material creates a soft layer between the metal parts of the bit and the sensitive areas around the horse’s mouth.

Rubber is also particularly practical for regular use, as it can be easily cleaned after riding.

Can help improve bit stability

By filling the space between the bit rings and the corners of the mouth, the guards can also help reduce excessive lateral movement of the bit.

This can encourage a more stable position in the horse’s mouth while maintaining the freedom of movement required for the bit to function correctly.

They are a simple yet useful accessory for complementing certain bridle and bit combinations.

Easy to incorporate into your tack

The LeMieux Shaped Rubber Bit Guards can be used with a variety of ring bits suitable for this type of accessory.

Once correctly fitted on either side of the bit, they remain discreet and integrate easily with the rest of the bridle.

For optimum comfort, it is important to use a correctly fitted bit and regularly check the condition of the bit guards.
