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.

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 flexible steel core
- Flexibility: High
- Available in sizes 125 mm / 135 mm / 140 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 with 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.

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.
