Choosing the right bit shouldn't require buying multiple bits and hoping one works. Every horse is different, and the best way to know if a bit is right is to ride in it.
That's why Bit Perfect created our Try or Buy program. Try a bit on your own horse before deciding whether to keep it.
Browse our selection of over 300 English and Western bits and select Try Now on any eligible product.
You may have up to three trial bits checked out at one time.
Use the bit during your normal riding routine for up to 30 days.
The best way to evaluate a bit isn't by looking at photos or reading reviews—it's by seeing how your own horse responds.

At Bit Perfect, we're committed to making bit selection easier through education, transparency, and the freedom to try before you buy.
