Fitting Instructions

When the Pee Wee bit is sitting correctly in the mouth there should be little to no wrinkles in the corners of the horse's mouth.
Adjust the bridle cheek straps to ensure the mouth bar of the bit contacts the corners of the mouth with light pressure only.

Adjust the cheek straps to avoid wrinkles.

The chin strap should be loose allowing the bit to move freely. When fitted you should be able to slide 2 or 3 fingers between the strap and the chin.

A Perfect Fit - This photo shows the bit correctly fitted with the Rings Turned Down, and excerting light pressure on the mouth, with no wrinkles.

Note: With the reins fitted to the top rings the bit acts as a Snaffle Bit. There is no leverage or (curb) pressure applied by the strap. When pressure is applied on the reins, the strap sits comfortably under the chin, with out applying pressure.
