- Place the starting edge on the front of the bit to avoid creating a bump against the horse’s tongue.
- Overlap the BitTape approx. 50% onto itself as you wrap.
- Once wrapped, squeeze the material firmly to ensure proper adhesion.
- If you see signs of wear or BitTape begins to loosen, cut it off, discard & re-wrap the bit with new material.
Tips & Tricks
+ Take your time! Once BitTape has adhered to itself, you will not be able to unwrap & re-use material.
+ For best results, apply the minimum number of layers required (over-wrapping may reduce durability).
+ Do not leave horses unattended with a wrapped bit in their mouth for an extended period of time.
+ BitTape will generally last multiple rides, depending on the efficacy of application, the number of layers applied, the style of bit, how much the horse chews & other factors
EquiFit Essential BitTape is easy to use, discreet, and creates a gentle feel that horses appreciate. Use it to prevent bit pinching, smoothing a chewed-up bit, covering metal, or to add cushioning. The average bit takes about 6-12" of tape, but this will vary according to use. While intended for single use, the bit wrap should last for several rides before needing replacement.
