Achieve complete harmony with your horse, maintaining light, stable and precise contact with its mouth.

Winderen Gel Bit System bits are made of durable synthetic gel that’s comfortable and readily accepted by horses and which they can’t destroy with their teeth.
The Gel Bit System is also an innovative approach for riders who use more than one bit in their daily training. Each of our gel mouthpieces can be combined with different types of cheek pieces in order to create the right bit for you. The whole process of changing cheek pieces is very simple and takes just a few moments.

Designed especially for:

Horses that have problems with getting on the bit and yielding to the hand
Sensitive horses that have difficulty accepting a metal mouthpiece
Horses that destroy synthetic bits by chewing on them
Horses allergic to metal bits
Has a rigid stainless-steel core
Anatomical shape with space for the tongue
Integrated guards
Available in sizes 125 mm / 135 mm

Safe for horses

The synthetic gel used in a Winderen mouthpiece has been fully tested and found to be completely safe for horses.
It has FDA certification, which is internationally recognised as proof of high standards, quality, and safety. This means that your horse can safely chew the Winderen bit wih no ill effects

Durable against destruction from chewing

A big challenge in the design phase was to make a mouthpiece that’s both soft and comfortable for horses and strong enough to hold up to chewing. After many attempts, we finally managed to achieve it. The soft, gel structure is willingly chewed and accepted by horses and at the same time is extremely resistant to being destroyed by chewing.

We did a lot of tests with horses, which, to the despair of their owners, destroyed different synthetic mouthpieces very quickly. These same horses didn’t destroy the Winderen gel bit. We even let dogs chew on it to ensure the strength of our gel. As carnivores, they have much sharper teeth and stronger jaws. Winderen bits performed more than satisfactorily.

System of interchangeable mouthpieces and cheek pieces

As we all know, choosing the right bit can be quite a challenge. A horse’s needs can change over time, so when designing the Winderen Gel Bits System we wanted to make the process of selecting the right bit for the needs and temperament of your horse as easy as possible.

This is why we have created a system of interchangeable cheek pieces and mouthpieces. This innovative solution lets you connect any of our mouthpieces with our entire range of cheek pieces, allowing a wide range of possibilities and modifications in the functionality of our bits. The other important thing is that mouthpieces and cheek pieces can be quickly and independently interchanged as often as you like.

Compliance with FEI requirements

One of the priorities we set when designing the Gel Bits System bits was its compliance with FEI requirements. Thanks to that we were able to design a bit that meets guidelines of the jumping, dressage and eventing rules:

a smooth surface of the bit
made of synthetic, durable material
all mouthpieces' hardness allowed by the rules
tongue relief port with acceptable height
18 mm thickness, suitable for both horses and ponies
cheekpieces allowed for dressage (loose ring, eggbutt, D-ring and baucher)
the shape of the curb bit and all lengths of cheekpieces allowed by the rules
white and orange bit color not forbidden in all disciplines

Our Gel Bits System complies with the 25th edition of the FEI Dressage Rules, the 26th edition of the FEI Jumping Rules and the 25th edition of the FEI Eventing Rules.
