Hippus Bits

Hippus is a Swiss equestrian brand focused on developing anatomically shaped bits designed to improve comfort for horses and communication between horse and rider. Its patented designs aim to sit comfortably in the horse’s mouth, reduce pressure and pain, and leave space for the tongue to support balance and saliva production. Hippus says this can help horses breathe more effectively and respond to the rider without constant pressure.

The range includes snaffle and double bits, made from medical-grade, acid-resistant stainless steel. The company describes its materials as free from oxides, toxins, allergens, magnetics, and heavy metals, and reports that its designs undergo material testing, individual inspection, and random testing, including X-ray examination. Beyond its products, Hippus provides guidance on using its bits and publishes equine dental care articles covering topics such as periodontal problems, sharp tooth points, and dental terminology.

The site also offers contact options for horse dentistry, technical bit inquiries, and appointments. Its central aim is a more comfortable, balanced relationship between horses and riders
