Important Bit Information!

ALL Standard western bits are allowed in 4h. However, standard western bits have no slip or gag. A jr cowhorse is not permitted in horsemanship/pleasure. The use of the phrase ‘all standard western bits’ is tricky because it is not all inclusive of western bits. There’s a definition of ‘standard western bit’ but you have to know the definition.
In timed events a western bit with gag/slip is permitted. Twisted wire mouth pieces are permitted too where they are not in horsemanship/pleasure.
Here’s a better explanation. Please read!!! We have an experienced show judge this year who might check your bit!! DQ’s or ribbon mark downs will occur!  4H Bits  & Bits 101
