7 inch bit

[DIEGO]

Does any one out there use 7 inch bits?

crikey that has gotta be some horse to need that size bit. i believe you can have them made to measure when they aren't in the 'usual' size bracket

 

[JenTaz]

i have to say i work in a tack shop and the largest bit we stock is a 6 and a half and then we hardly have any common size is 5 and a half

 

[LadyRascasse]

i have found some american sites which sell 7" bits not sure if you would be able to import them. are you after a particular type of bit?

 

[DIEGO]

thanks for replys,i have one i want to sell,but wondered if there were any horses big enough to wear a 7 inch bit.

My cob has a 6 1/4 inch bit size or 6 1/2 with bit rubbers on, i was really suprised when my dentist and i measured her!

 

[DIEGO]

how big is your mare,if you dont mind me asking.

 

[Keltic]

she is huge!! she is a Clydie cross all 15hh!!

She is very fleshy around the mouth, i had her in a 6 inch but it wasnt wide enough

 

[DIEGO]

is she the one on the right of your banner,shes gorgeous,would you breed off her,my type of horse,your so lucky.

 

[Keltic]

Yes thats her!! she's a beast lol

but love her to bits, i sent her to stud but she didnt take, i would have loved a foal from her but it wasnt to be, she was in ireland as a broodmare before i got her.

 

[Keltic]

Think she doesnt want anymore foals lol cant blame her!!

 

[DIEGO]

she is beautiful.

 

[Keltic]

Thank you

There is a 7 inch bit for sale on ebay.

My horse takes a 6 1/2" he is also a clydie x. x with a highland. Clydies are known for having fleshing lips and big tongues.

I am sure that a full draft horse would take this size, such as a shire or a very large full clydie.

Put it on ebay - my horse takes a 6 1/2 and because I had serious bitting/braking issues I have a massive collection of oversize redundant bits! I am still making my way through selling them! But they always sell on ebay as extra large bits are so hard to come by, and so expensive when you do come by them!

Ginny has a 6 inch bit (although has a waterford and could do with going up to 6 1/2) There will be plenty of cobs or chunky types that need a 7inch

 

[sallyw]

Do you still have 7 inch bit?

 

[heva29]

is the bit for sale still?

 

[my bfg]

My mare takes a 7" - found the best prices on american ebay

 

[cobgoblin]

Blue horse equine does some, but very limited in variety. The bit bank also does a limited range or Abbey will make to order.If you search for draft horse bits there are quite a few American sites, it's a bit pricey but at least you get to buy the type you want.

The shire x I rode had to have one, we found him an ex army bit on eBay xx
