The Fager Mouth Corner Bit Tape is a simple but highly effective solution for horses prone to developing rubs, pinching, or sores at the corners of their mouth due to bit movement or rein pressure. Designed with both comfort and practicality in mind, this tape protects delicate skin while ensuring that the bit remains properly positioned for consistent and comfortable communication.
Made from a soft, durable, and adhesive-safe material, Fager’s bit tape is gentle on the horse’s skin while offering a secure fit that won’t slip or shift during work. It is flexible enough to mold around different bit types—whether fixed, loose, or leverage—and creates a smooth barrier between the bit ring and the corners of the horse’s mouth. This reduces friction, eliminates pinching, and protects against sores, especially in horses with sensitive skin or those working in varied or intense conditions.
One of the key benefits of the Mouth Corner Bit Tape is that it doesn’t add bulk. Unlike bit guards, which can alter the feel and action of the bit, this tape maintains the bit’s original design and effectiveness while offering targeted protection. It’s especially useful for fine-tuning fit on bits that tend to slide or shift slightly, such as loose rings.
Ideal for:
-
Horses that develop rubs or sores at the mouth corners
-
Sensitive-skinned horses or those in regular, intense work
-
Riders who want bit protection without compromising the bit’s function
-
Disciplines where traditional bit guards aren’t permitted
The Fager Mouth Corner Bit Tape is quick to apply, discreet in appearance, and incredibly effective. Whether you’re training, competing, or simply aiming to improve your horse’s comfort, this tape offers a smart, no-fuss way to enhance bit fit and protect sensitive skin—right where it matters most.
