Does anyone know anything about German Silver Bits? Just wondered if they were quality bits or cheap rubbish.
 
I had a Kieffer one and it cost me about £18 and was fantastic, passed it to a friend as it doesn't fit my horse, siliar effect to aurigan and lasts well, hope that helps.
 
This is what I was wondering - how much nickel is in them. I'll google it and see what I can find. Thanks.
 
MMMmm not sure, would be surprised at Keiffer making bits out of nickel and mine was very hard wearing, my old horse wore it everyday for over a year and it's still going strong on my friends bridle. It looks like a normal stainless steel bit in colour. I think Shires do some german silver bits if you look at their site is may say more?
 
I find them better in terms of mouthing properties as the aurigan, or 'German gold' tarnishges easily and then looses its mouthing quality.
i use mostly the silver and all of mine are KK bits. It is similar to the Kangaroo bits that were made a few years ago and was known for its quality.
Neue Schule also make bits out of this alloy.
I think you can see that these are all quality and are used by many riders like me.
