FAQs

Is this bit suitable for jumping?

Yes, it is suitable for general riding and training, though it is primarily designed for comfort and sensitivity.

How often should I replace this bit?

The lifespan depends on usage and the horse's chewing habits; inspect it before every ride and replace it if the material shows signs of degradation.

Does the plastic material contain harmful substances?

No, it is made from a food-safe plastic compound specifically formulated to be safe for use in a horse's mouth.

Can I use this bit with a bridle that has a flash noseband?

Yes, it is compatible with most standard English bridles, including those with flash nosebands.

Why is the loose ring design beneficial?

The loose ring design provides more freedom and allows the bit to sit in a neutral position, which often helps horses stay softer in the contact.

Troubleshooting

Horse seems reluctant to accept the bit

Check that the bit is fitted at the correct height and that the horse's teeth have been checked by an equine dentist for sharp points.

Visible wear or rough spots on the plastic bar

Immediately stop using the bit to avoid potential mouth injury and replace it with a new unit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Encourages horse acceptance through gentle material design
  • Prevents lateral pinching with integrated guards
  • Provides clear communication without harsh pressure points
  • High-quality German manufacturing
  • Ideal for sensitive or young horses

Cons

  • Plastic material can sustain damage from sharp teeth
  • Requires frequent inspection for signs of wear
  • May be too mild for horses requiring strong leverage

Setup, Compatibility & Care

When fitting the Beris Soft bit, ensure the size corresponds correctly to the horse's mouth width (130mm for this model) to prevent the bit guards from putting unwanted pressure on the lips. To maintain the integrity of the food-safe plastic, rinse the bit with fresh, lukewarm water after every ride to remove debris or saliva buildup. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents. Regularly inspect the surface of the plastic bar for any rough edges or chew marks that could irritate the mouth; if the surface is damaged, the bit should be replaced to ensure the safety and comfort of the horse.
