Bits

We are so excited to partner with Agador's Bits as the exclusive bit provider for Essentially, Drafts. Their team of certified bit fitters, FEI-level riders, and an equine vet build every bit around real fit, not mass production — and that expertise isn't just for English riders. A well-fitted snaffle is a legitimate bit for Western horses too. Many trainers keep a horse in one through the early stages of neck reining, since it's the right tool for teaching that response before a curb bit's leverage comes into play. Especially for casual riding, plenty of horses never need to move up at all — a snaffle can be exactly where they stay. Show requirements will differ, of course, but that's a different discussion.
