Walking Bits

Shop walking bits and walking horse bits for gaited horse tack setups, western riding, training, and riders comparing mouthpiece and shank designs. This collection may include shanked bits, curb bits, ported bits, jointed mouthpieces, and other walking horse bit styles when available.

Walking Horse Bits and Gaited Horse Tack Styles

Walking bits can vary widely by mouthpiece, cheek, shank, port, curb action, and material. Some are chosen for Tennessee Walking Horses or gaited horse setups, while others may be used by riders comparing a specific western bit feel. The name alone does not tell the whole story.

• Walking horse bits, gaited horse bits, shanked bits, curb styles, and training options
• Possible ported, jointed, copper, sweet iron, stainless, and decorative designs
• Useful for riders comparing bit action, mouthpiece feel, and cheek style
• Fit, training level, rider hands, and curb action should be considered carefully

Choosing a Walking Bit

Start with what the horse already understands and how the bit will be used. Compare mouthpiece thickness, port height, shank length, curb action, and ring or cheek design. A small change in any of these details can make the bit ride very differently.

If you are changing bits because of resistance or control issues, check dental comfort, fit, training, and rider timing before moving to a stronger option.
