Description  

2263 Golden Wings 4 in 1 Single Jointed

The Golden Wings bits offer special protection for the corners of the mouth with their characteristic side bit plates, preventing the sensitive skin from being pinched by the sliding rings. The sliding rings ensure that the anatomical mouthpiece always returns to a neutral position and rests gently in the horse's mouth. At the same time, the bit plates provide lateral guidance and stabilize the position of the bit in the horse's mouth, offering slight lateral influence that can particularly support young horses in bending and turns.

The Golden Wings 4 in 1 bridle offers four different attachment options, allowing for individual pressure distribution and varied effects. The single jointed mouthpiece sits more steadily in the mouth than a double jointed mouthpiece and distributes the pressure over the bars of the horse's mouth, while the central joint reduces pressure on the tongue.

 

Advantages at a Glance

Mouth Friendliness and Comfort

- The side plates of the bit prevent painful pinching of the corners of the mouth and ensure a stable position in the horse's mouth.

- The bit plates allow for gentle lateral guidance on the horse's mouth and can support in bending and turning.

 

Fastening Options and Pressure Distribution

Multifunctional bit rings allow various fastening options for the reins, enabling individual adjustment of the bit's pressure on the mouth and poll as needed.

  1. Option: Attach the bridle to the upper small ring and the reins to the large ring - Effect like a loose ring snaffle.
  2. Option: Attach the bridle to the upper small ring and the reins to the lower small ring - Effect with slight leverage on the mouth and poll.
  3. Option: Attach the bridle to the large ring and the reins to the lower small ring - Greater effect on the mouth, as the bit rings slide only to a limited extent.
  4. Option: Attach gag cheek pieces through the small rings and two pairs of reins, one to the gag cheek piece and one to the large ring - Great leverage effect on the poll and gag effect on the mouth. CAUTION: This fastening option should only be used temporarily and by experienced riders.

SWEET Copper Mouthpiece

- Better Acceptance: The sweet-tasting copper is particularly well accepted by horses and promotes chewing.

- Composition: 90% copper, 7% iron, and aluminum, nickel-free, and especially robust.


For Which Horses is this Bit especially suitable?

- For sensitive horses

- For horses still in training

- For horses that need their chewing activity stimulated

- For horses that require slight lateral stability

Note on Proper Use

Any bit can cause pain if used roughly or improperly. The wrong size can also be painful for the horse. Please contact us with any questions about size and fastening, or read more about choosing the right size [here] and proper fitting.

When using the leverage effect, this bit is only suitable for experienced riders.

Size Guide  

Measure your horse’s mouth width by placing a bit sizer, string, or dowel between the corners of the lips (at the position where the bit will sit), mark the ends, then measure the distance.

The bit width should be such that the rings rest just outside (or very slightly beyond) the lip corners—if the bit is too narrow, it will pinch; too wide, it will shift side to side.

For loose ring bits, allow a little “play” so the rings can rotate freely without pinching the lips.

When mounted in the bridle, the bit should sit such that there is 1–2 small wrinkles at the corners of the mouth (but this is not a perfect rule for all jointed bits)

The bit should lie on the bars (the toothless gap between incisors and molars) and not press into teeth or interfere with the palate.

Care Instructions  

Washing
After each ride, rinse or wipe the bit to remove saliva, feed residues, or sweat. Use lukewarm water and, if needed, a mild, pH-neutral detergent or saddle soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the metal surface and reduce the bit’s longevity.

Drying
Once cleaned, dry the bit thoroughly with a soft cloth. Allow it to air dry completely before storage. Do not expose the bit to direct sunlight, and never place it on or near heat sources such as heaters or radiators.

Storage
Store your bit in a dry, well-ventilated environment, protected from moisture and temperature fluctuations. For best results, keep bits individually or padded to prevent metal parts from rubbing or scratching each other. Avoid leaving the bit attached to the bridle for extended periods, especially in humid conditions.

Guidance  

Any bit can cause pain if used roughly or improperly. The wrong size can also be painful for the horse. The 4-in-1 design allows varying degrees of leverage: loose ring style, direct, gag style, or combined (if using two reins). Use of stronger leverage should only be by experienced riders, as it increases poll and mouth pressure.
