Master of bits

Have a go at our fun quiz to test whether you know what different bits are used for, and how to fit them correctly.

1572

Master of bits

1 / 7

Which bit can help you to steer a young or green pony?

Loose ring

Full cheek

Kimberwick

2 / 7

This bit stays steady in your pony's mouth, so it's a good one for an inexperienced rider to use. What's it called?

Eggbutt snaffle

Three-ring-gag

Tom thumb

3 / 7

Which of these mouthpieces isn't allowed in dressage comps?

Mullen mouth

French-link

Waterford

4 / 7

Most bits are made of metal, but which one is more likely to encourage your pony to salivate when he's wearing it?

Stainless steel

Copper

Iron

5 / 7

Which type of mouthpiece is known to have a 'nutcracker' effect on your pony?

Lozenge

Single-joint

Ported barrel

6 / 7

What are the names of the two bits on a double bridle?

Weymouth and Waterford

Gag and full cheek

Bradoon and curb

7 / 7

How can you work out whether a bit's the right length for your pony?

There should be roughly 6mm sticking out both sides of his mouth, which is around a finger's width

The bit should fit snugly in your pony's mouth so there's no metal at all poking out the sides

The bit rings should be able to fit inside your pony's mouth

Your score is

Have you ever wondered what it's like to ride Western? 🤠

Recently, Emily and Kirsty from team PONY met up with Dani, Autumn and the lovely Cooper to learn all the basics on Western riding! 💫

They had a really insightful day learning a totally new discipline to them, and they even had a go at lassoing! (although next time it's probably best they leave it to the experts!)😅👀
