What is a Wilkie/ Bevel Bit, and How Does It Work?
The Bevel bit (also called wikie bits) is a popular type of horse bit that is known for it's versatality and effectiveness!
It features a unique design that allows a variety of multiaction training styles through the positioning of the reins - depending on the horse and rider combination. The bit offers a little more control than the original snaffle - encouraging gentle responsive movements, promoting outline, head carriage and responsiveness. This bit works by applying pressure on the horse's tongue and bars, which promotes appropriate carriage and responsiveness. Whether you're an experienced rider or a beginner, the Wilkie snaffle bit may help you communicate effectively with your horse.
The loose brass alloy discs in the centre can help to soothe a fussy tongued horse or even a nervous young horse. The joints also make it harder for your horse to grab onto the bridle/ lean on the birdle.
