Winderen Gel Bits System bits are made of durable synthetic gel that’s comfortable and readily accepted by horses, and at the same time is extremely resistant to being destroyed by chewing.
The Gel Bits System is also an innovative approach for riders who use more than one bit in their daily training. Each of our gel mouthpieces can be combined with different types of cheek pieces in order to create the right bit for you. The whole process of changing cheek pieces is very simple and takes just a few moments.
For over three years we have been running in-depth tests and observations which ultimately led us to develop our Gel Bits System bits. During this period, we tested our ideas on hundreds of horses and riders with varying levels of skill and experience.
This extensive group, consisting of professional riders, amateurs and leisure riders, helped lead us to the right conclusions. As a result, we’ve created a gel that our test horses easily accepted and that is extremely durable against destruction from horses’ teeth. Many of our test riders observed that their horses were chewing the bit more willingly and relaxing faster during work without evading the bit. The horses were getting on the bit quickly and working with a good, stable contact, which made training sessions more effective and relaxed.
The synthetic gel used in a Winderen mouthpiece has been fully tested and found to be completely safe for horses. It has FDA certification, which is internationally recognised as proof of high standards, quality, and safety. This means that your horse can safely chew the Winderen bit with no ill effects.
