EVENTING

Kate Samuels July 9, 2015

“I don’t have any tooth grinders in my barn, but I do have a few horses with odd relationships with the bit, and one that is a little bit dry mouthed. All of my horses happily crunched up the little nuggets, save one, who is straight off the track and doesn’t understand the idea of treats yet. Everyone else is a glutton, and was willing to oblige the taste test.

GumBits is not a cure-all for ailments of connection, and not a replacement for slow and correct training combined with an educated hand, but it does address several specific issues quite well.

My dry mouthed horse showed significantly increased salivation, and was quite happy during his rides. My dressage coach uses them daily on her Grand Prix stallion, and reports that it has cured him of his teeth grinding and he never goes out to the arena without a few nibbles.”
