At Cherry Berry Emporium/Pineapple Parade, we understand the importance of finding the right bit for your horse. That's why we offer a wide variety of port bits designed to provide optimal communication and control during training or riding.

The Benefits of Port Bits

A port bit, also known as a correction bit, is a type of horse bit that features a raised port or tongue relief in the center. This design allows for more tongue and palate relief, offering a higher degree of control and leverage. Port bits are commonly used in disciplines such as western riding, reining, and barrel racing.

When properly fitted and used, port bits can:

  • Encourage collection and flexion
  • Promote vertical flexion and headset
  • Provide lateral control
  • Facilitate lead changes
  • Aid in stopping and turning

Our collection includes:

  • Low Port Bits: Ideal for introducing young horses to ported bits, encouraging relaxation and acceptance of the bit.
  • High Port Bits: Provide greater tongue relief and leverage for more advanced riders or horses needing additional control.
  • Chain Mouth Port Bits: Offering increased tongue pressure, these bits can enhance responsiveness and lateral control.

Choosing the Right Port Bit

When selecting a port bit for your horse, it's crucial to consider their level of training, conformation, and mouth sensitivity. We recommend consulting with an experienced trainer or equine professional to ensure the best fit for your horse's individual needs.

Factors to consider when choosing a port bit:

  • Training Level: A horse in the early stages of training may benefit from a low port, while a more advanced horse may require a higher port for precise communication.
  • Mouth Conformation: Some horses have low palates, while others have higher palates. It's essential to select a bit that accommodates your horse's specific mouth conformation.
  • Riding Discipline: Different disciplines may have specific rules or preferences regarding port bits. Make sure to choose a bit that aligns with your intended use.
  • Personal Riding Style: Your riding style and level of expertise can also influence the type of port bit you choose. It's important to select a bit that suits your skill level and riding goals.
