Wrapping a bit in leather is all about adding comfort and safety for the horse. Nature designed the horse’s mouth to chew food and its tongue to select grasses—not hold a bit. Safety is another benefit. Alternative options like silicon or rubber-covered bits can also add comfort, but they can quickly become hazardous if the horse chews and swallows it. With a leather bit, there’s zero concern with accidental chemical digestion.
