Abbey Saddlery will now be distributing Mikmar bits exclusively in the UK, for the Mikmar Bit Company.

Made in the USA, Mikmar bits are well known for their innovative and effective bit designs. Committed to helping the horse ‘better understand what is being asked’ of him, through versatile, unique designs, Mikmar bits encourage more confident and harmonious horse and rider communication.

The late Frank Evans, inventor of Mikmar Bits and founder of the company, designed the popular Mikmar Training Bit in 1953. It is well-known for its unique lightweight design, versatility, and excellent results, despite its curious first impression.

Frank Evans said: “Because of the way this bit works, you are able to protect a horse’s mouth and at the same time get desired results. It sends a clearer signal to the horse, allowing the rider to use a softer hand.” The Mikmar Training Bit operates through leverage, with the addition of nose pressure.
