Natural rubber bit guards
Pinched mouth corners are one of the most common reasons a horse starts evading the bit, and natural rubber bit guards are the cheapest insurance against it. Jump'In's guards are soft, flexible and deliberately small so they do their job without looking like industrial hardware.
How it works: the guard slides over the bit ring and sits against the corner of the lips, keeping the ring from pinching or dragging the soft tissue as the reins work. Being natural rubber, they flex with the ring rather than locking it stiff.
Why we rate it: the discreet profile matters if you compete under EA rules where tack must look conventional. They suit young horses with sensitive mouths, horses in a new bit, and anyone whose horse comes in with rubs at the lip corners.
— Available in black, natural and navy; one size only. Pair them with any ring bit from our bit collection.

Product FAQs
How do I measure my horse for the Natural rubber bit guards?
You need four measurements: (1) headstall — from behind the ear, over the poll, to the other ear; (2) browband — around the forehead; (3) noseband — around the nose where it sits; (4) bit-to-bit — corner of mouth to corner of mouth over the poll. Most Jump'In bridles come in Cob, Full, and Warmblood sizes.
Is the Natural rubber bit guards a dressage or jumping bridle?
Dressage bridles typically have a flash noseband, larger browband, and longer cheekpieces for a refined look. Jumping bridles often have a drop or figure-8 noseband and are designed to stay secure over fences. Check the Natural rubber bit guards product description for its discipline design.
How do I care for my Jump'In bridle?
Wipe down after every ride with a damp cloth. Clean with leather soap weekly, then condition with leather oil or balm. Store hanging in a cool, dry place. Take apart and deep-clean monthly. Well-maintained Natural rubber bit guards leather bridles can last decades.
