GUMBITS
chewing gum for horses
Dubbed "chewing gum for horses,”GumBits are little bite size chewy sugar bits composed of an all natural combination of sugar and FDA approved beeswax. The horses love the sweet taste and lasting effect of the chewing creating salivation.
Riders use to feed their horse as a treat or training tool with or without the bridle. The taste and texture encourage soft chewing for increased salivation to help the horse accept the bit in their mouth for a better connection between horse and rider.
Tense, grinding, or dry mouthed horses in particular benefit from the addition of GumBits to their training program.
“If you read the books of 18th century equestrian masters, they all go into details of the essence of relaxing the horses’ jaw.
And they have large jaws, so if they clamp their jaw….
…tension goes up into the pole area thru the spine, thru the neck, thru the withers, thru the back and all the way thru the hind quarters.
…what GumBits does is to just get the horse to chew to generate that saliva and kind of relax the whole being of the horse. I am blown away. It’s just a simple product, it’s all natural, and it works!“
Gil Merrick, former USEF Managing Director for Dressage High Performance Teams & Olympic Chef D’ Equipe
