The 2268 Golden Wings 3-Ring bit is a multi-ring bit that offers progressive leverage through its three rings, while maintaining the protective Golden Wings side plates. Riders can choose a milder or stronger effect by selecting which ring to attach the reins. The side plates help prevent pinching and stabilize the bit's position.

2268 Golden Wings 2.5-Ring Bridle

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 2.5-Ring Bridle offers various fastening options, allowing for individual pressure distribution and different effects on the poll and mouth of the horse. The double jointed mouthpiece evenly distributes pressure over the tongue and bars.

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 influence on the horse's mouth and can aid in bending and turning.

Fastening Options and Pressure Distribution

  • Various fastening options for the reins, allowing 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 - slight leverage on the poll. 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. CAUTION: Leverage bits should only be used 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 horses with sensitive mouths
  • For horses that evade upwards
  • For horses that pull strongly towards the jump

Note on Proper Use

Any bit can cause pain if used roughly or improperly, and this is especially true for bits with leverage effects. 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.

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 3-ring design allows varied leverage options depending on which ring is used for rein attachment. Use of stronger leverage should only be by experienced riders, as it increases poll and mouth pressure.
