Since 1978, we've built our reputation on supplying reliable, high-quality tack for working and driving horses, and our selection of driving bits continues that tradition with proven designs trusted by teamsters, farmers, and carriage enthusiasts. We offer a range of classic driving bit styles, all sized appropriately for draft breeds, light horses, ponies, and teams—crafted from durable stainless steel (with some nickel-plated options) for strength, corrosion resistance, and a smooth finish in the horse's mouth: Butterfly Bits – Popular for their elegant cheek design and moderate leverage, available in 2-loop or 3-loop varieties. The butterfly cheeks provide balanced control and multiple rein positions, often with a medium port or mullen mouthpiece to encourage salivation and softness—ideal for starting horses or everyday driving. Liverpool Bits – The most traditional and versatile driving bit, featuring slotted cheeks (1–3 slots) for adjustable rein placement and varying degrees of leverage. A go-to choice for pairs, teams, and experienced drivers needing precise communication without excess severity. Military (Elbow) Bits – Also known as Military Elbow or reversible styles, with fixed or swivel cheeks set at a square angle for clear, direct action. Often straight-bar or low-port mouthpieces, these offer reliable control for seasoned driving horses and are favored for their simplicity and effectiveness in heavy work or parade use. All bits are designed specifically for harness driving, focusing on even pressure, tongue relief, and compatibility with overchecks, side-checks, or bearing reins. Proper fit and mouthpiece selection are key to comfort and performance—contact us for sizing guidance or recommendations based on your horse's level, mouth shape, and driving discipline. Built tough and true to the same uncompromising standards we've upheld for over four decades—perfect for the team that pulls together.
