A discreet and comfortable silicone wrap to help prevent bit pinching & create a gentle feel that horses love. Essential BitTape is a new approach to a long-trusted training aid.

 

• Versatile and Easy to Use - Designed for multiple uses depending on application & style of bit
• Cushioned Comfort - Softens the bit for sensitive horses
• Alternative to Bit Guards - Helps prevent pinching
• Aids in Bit Repair - Creates a smooth surface on chewed up bits
• Easy to Use - Cut to your preferred length
• Secure Storage - Resealable plastic bag keeps out dirt, air, and moisture

 

Directions for Use

1. Start with a clean and dry workspace to ensure proper adherence.
2. Cut your desired length of BitTape. The average horse bit takes approx. 6-12", but this can vary with application or size of bit. 
3. Gently pre-stretch the BitTape material. 
4. Place the starting edge on the front of the bit to avoid creating a bump against the horse's tongue.
5. Overlap the BitTape approx. 50% onto itself as your wrap. 
6. Once wrapped, squeeze the material firmly to ensure proper adhesion. 
7. If you see signs of wear or BitTape begins to loosen, cut it off, discard, and re-wrap the bit with new material.

 

Tips & Tricks:

• Take your time! Once BitTape has adhered to itself, you will not be able to unwrap and re-use material.
• For best results, apply the minimum number of layers required (over-wrapping may reduce durability).
• Do not leave horses unattended with a wrapped bit in their mouth for an extended period of time.
• BitTape will generally last multiple rides, depending on the efficacy of application, the number of layers applied, the style of bit, how much the horse chews and other factors.
