Ride a bit-trained horse. Choose the right bit. Ask an experienced trainer for assistance. Keep your horse in shape.
This should give you an idea of what to expect from your horse once he’s on the bit. For best results, have the horse’s main rider or trainer ride for a few minutes. The trainer can tell you what to look for and how it should feel. They can also describe the motions of putting the horse onto the bit before you get on the horse. After you have watched the trainer and heard their advice, trade places and feel how the horse responds naturally, and the ride feels smoother. Most importantly, you should gain an understanding of how the bit helps the horse maintain a more comfortable, natural posture and movement. If it’s too large, you could injure your horse and undo the work you’ve already put into training it. Even large horses don’t really need large bits. The bit sits at the back of the mouth on your horse’s gums. This soft tissue is full of nerve endings that make this spot extremely sensitive. When selecting a bit, you’ll need to consider the width and shape. For the best results, a wider bit with a curved shape is ideal.  Different bits have different purposes for various types of training. Make sure you have chosen the right bit for the job by considering how you want to ride the horse. Thinner bits can be painful for the horse and they also put more pressure on a concentrated area, leading to discomfort. A curved bit allows more space for the horse’s tongue, so the movement of the bit has the intended interaction with the sensitive soft tissue in your horse’s mouth without gagging the horse. Consider them your best resource in learning to bit train a horse. Much of bit training relies on feelings, not specific movements, so it’s important to talk to other trainers for advice and assistance. If it’s your first time bit training a horse, you may want to observe the experienced trainer as they train your horse. A healthy horse is more likely to keep up with their bit training, so exercise your horse regularly. One of the best ways to improve the strength of your horse is to walk and trot up and down hills. A daily warm up and ride will keep the horse in great shape, build the connection between you and your horse, and make it easier to train them on the bit.
