Avacello gel bit guards

[esselle]

Has anyone used these? I like the idea of them being snug to the bit (my mare still manages to rub through the large holes of bog - standard bit guards) but can't seem to find any user reviews.

Just wondered if anyone had used them and if so what you think ie do they take up much bit space...does the extended bit rub the horse even more etc?

Thanks for any replies

Anyone?

Hi, my super sensitive skinned horse has them! He absolutely loves them and the bit still fits, with no rubbing, so would defo recommend from my experience of them

Oh that's great to hear...Thank you

I was just a bit worried about them taking up too much bit space. I want something to put on a universal bit.

I've just ordered some off eBay. Hoping they will actually help her have a loose ring in her mouth without nips/rubs. Want to pit them on a KK universal...are they quite easy to get on?

I have mine on a universal bit currently and have also got them onto other bits such as an American gag. They are fab . Soak them in warm water for a couple of mins before you try and put them on, will make it much easier. .

I've got some too & think they are fab. They were a nightmare to get on a loose ring snaffle though, ended up taking them in the bath with me & doing it under the water
