Why Silver Pastures

Starting in late May of 2025, my mother had just taken in a horse to retrain the bitting process. This brought to our attention what seemed to be a missing aid in the equine training world.

With the help of many different individuals along the way, Bit Buddies has grown from an idea into a product that is now available to the public.

We love the concept of Bit Buddies and it has truly been a game changer for our mare, Bellanosa Z! Bella is an extremely hot and sensitive mare competing at the 1.40/1.45m level. She’s an incredible jumper, but getting her to relax, accept the bit, and even canter on the flat has always been a major challenge. In two days with Bit Buddies, Bella she has accepted more contact and is even cantering calmly on the flat. The difference is remarkable and we are so thrilled to see this change in her relaxation and performance. She went from needing to work into relaxation at the trot and hardly cantering on the flat, prior to Bit Buddies, to now cantering calmly both directions and even working up to canter sets. Pelham Park LLC LOVES Bit Buddies and we are so excited to see what they will do for our other horses!

I used these on my six-year-old‘s Pony who likes to get distracted or pull her head down and try to graze or do other tricks during lessons. With the bit buddy on her bit she seemed much more focused, and she was happily busy with her bit and much more focused than she usually is for a lesson! These are a huge success! Plus, they smell great! I will definitely be getting more! My other daughter who is 12 also used on her Pony and it seemed to have a very calming effect as well on her Pony during her lesson.

Absolutely LOVE this product!! We have a young OTTB straight from the track who was not a fan of being bridled. The trainer got him from warned us about the issue, but when we got him home we saw how bad it really was. Getting the bit in his mouth was a huge struggle and sometimes took 2 people. Then when he did have the bit in his mouth, he really braced against it while under saddle and it just wasn’t pleasant for anyone. After using this for a few days, he started to actually look forward to being bridled and became so much softer while being ridden. I realize this is an extreme case, but we even started using this with our less green horses who could use a little softening or maybe even just a treat while being ridden. We are huge fans!

Bit Buddies are such a great solution for bit shy horses! As a certified member of the T-Rex club, fighting to bit a stubborn giant or introducing a bridle to young horses for the first time can be impossible without a long-armed helper. This product makes bitting a positive experience for both horse and rider! No more straining shoulders and tippy toes, no fighting and frustration before every ride. I wish I'd had Bit Buddies when I was 12 years old with little arms and a very rude pony. My mare is super picky about treats but she loves the Anise flavor!

My young 4 year old mare really loved this product! She went from being anxious about bitting and fussy in the bridle to soft chewing and relaxed. She no longer anticipates the stress of the bridle coming out of the tack room or finding soft contact on the bit. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking to soothe an anxious or fussy bitter. The results don't take long to see!

As a trainer, this product has been a huge game changer in teaching young horses to bridle and accept contact in the bit. They love the flavor and it lasts throughout my ride, giving them something to enjoy while we work. One of my older guys also needs previcox for maintenance. I just wrap it in some bit buddy and feed it as a treat. No more fighting or sorting around it in his feed. Highly recommend.

I love this product ! The young horses are interested in the bit and are more willing to open their mouths. The wrap pads the bit allowing it to pass smoothly over their teeth.

I was introduced to Bit Buddies winter of 2026. I used them to help with bit acceptance with my green horses and saw an immediate positive response! They love the flavor and I love the ingredients.
I would recommend bit buddies for any application where you are looking to create a positive bitting experience.
