#10 Your cold hands just don’t do the job (and dipping the bit in hot water is messy!)
#9 They make wonderful gifts for your trainer, barn mates, and friends – and fit especially well in Christmas stockings.
#8 Cold bits can cause numbing of the mouth, interfering with communication.
#7 Using a hair-dryer is a hassle, is noisy, and uses at least 1250 watts of energy! Bit Blankets use only 4 watts!
#6 You don’t want to create a head-shy horse who’s resistant to being bridled.
#5 Your horse may accept a cold bit but it doesn’t mean he likes it.
#4 Cold bits are uncomfortable, painful, and can cause lip/tongue/gum injuries.
#3 Bit Blankets are fast, effective, and convenient.
#2 You’d never lick a frozen flagpole (hopefully!) and you shouldn’t ask your horse to!
And the #1 reason to order a Bit Blanket:
Your armpits really aren’t that effective AND they make the bit taste funny.
