Step by step instructions

1. Place the bit in the centre of the leather cover and measure the required length. Cut to size.
2. Wrap the leather around the bit to measure the correct width. Cut accordingly.
3. Attach needles to both ends of the thread.
4. Begin sewing by looping the thread twice to secure the start.
5. Pull tight and continue sewing by crossing the thread through the holes, similar to lacing a shoe. Ensure the stitching remains firm.
6. Continue along the entire length of the bit. At the end, tie a secure knot and trim excess thread.
7. Carefully seal the ends of the thread with a lighter.

You now have a customised leather bit, made at home.

Important care notes

• The lifespan of the leather depends on how much your horse chews on the bit.

• If the leather becomes dry, we recommend soaking it in food grade paraffin oil.

• Ensure the stitching faces outward and does not sit against the corners of the mouth.

• This leather material is not suitable for horses that chew excessively. Damage caused by chewing is not covered by warranty or right of complaint.
