The Market Advantage of Butterfly (Driving) Bits
Butterfly bits are a staple in the harness and driving communities. They are highly valued for their multi-slot cheekpiece design, which allows the driver to adjust the severity of the curb action based on the horse's temperament and the specific driving conditions. Stocking expertly manufactured butterfly bits allows your retail business to capture the dedicated driving and draft horse market with specific anatomical and mechanical benefits:
-
Adjustable Leverage & Control: The butterfly shank features multiple rein attachment loops. Placing the rein in the top ring acts similarly to a snaffle, while lowering the rein to the bottom loops incrementally increases the curb leverage.
-
Reversible Mouthpiece Action: Many traditional butterfly driving bits feature a reversible mouthpiece (such as a Mullen mouth that is smooth on one side and ribbed on the other), offering two distinct levels of contact in a single piece of hardware.
-
Proportionate Draft Sizing: Because driving often involves draft and heavy horses, these bits require robust manufacturing and larger sizing options to withstand greater pressure and fit wider palates comfortably.

FAQ's
Are butterfly bits only used for carriage driving?
While they are most prominent in harness and carriage driving, butterfly bits are occasionally used in riding—particularly as a Pelham alternative or in certain showing classes where adjustable leverage is required without the length of a traditional shank.
Can you manufacture butterfly bits for heavy draft horses?
Yes. We specialize in accommodating all equine sizes. We can manufacture bulk orders of butterfly bits in draft-specific sizes (up to 7 inches or custom measurements) using reinforced stainless steel to ensure the structural integrity required for heavy driving.
Do you offer reversible mouthpieces in your wholesale catalog?
Absolutely. We manufacture traditional reversible Mullen mouthpieces (smooth on one side, ridged/serrated on the other) which are highly popular in the driving community for their dual-purpose functionality.
