Lucy65 15 Report post Posted October 18, 2013 Does anyone else find that after using the Triabit there is blood on bit?? I have been using it on my horses, 2 of the 3 horses leave blood on the bit, I can't see where the blood comes from, they aren't pulling or throwing their heads so no extra force on bit, just wandering if anyone else finds this?? I like the bit, very much other than this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it occurring after racing? do you have changes in the riders ie. trackwork have you examined your horses mouths especially inside down the side of the gums for scarring or open cuts (most probable cause) just run your index finger around in the corner of the mouth .doesnt take much of a cut to produce blood on any bit. hedley 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
emiliana 11 Report post Posted October 20, 2013 I've seen a couple that the Triabit pinched cheeks on, young ones that were upgrading from tom thumbs to "big kid bits", once they had worn them a few times they seemed ok though. Just as an observation, I think they are the kind of bit that is better off half a hole looser than your standard bit, they seem to sit better and riders have said horses are more relaxed with them that way. hedley 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindsay carston 81 Report post Posted October 20, 2013 Been out of the game for a couple of years and have never come across a Triabit.I have used like most trainers Ring bits for years especially in races if only for the fact they cant go through a horses mouth should it decide to go in a different direction than the jockey wants.Having said that I personally dont like them as horses tend to fight a ring bit especially in trackwork if they pull a bit(pardon the pun)Most European trainers use Snaffles as they are easier on the mouth and checkers are a good way to counteract them coming through.If anyone can tell me why most horses race here in ring bits other than everyone does it I would like to know because I really dont see their advantage.Lucy if there are no cuts obvious in your horses mouth but you see blood he could be biting his tounge and if he is that may be because of the bit.He also may need his teeth seen too hedley 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miles Blair 3 Report post Posted October 20, 2013 An extremely popular bit, it is now being used with success in many countries. A kind bit that problem horses react well to and the amount of leading trainers in Australia utilising it speaks for itself.
