Trail riding requires a strong horse bit that works well with loose reigns. The best options include Pelham Bit, Mullen Training Bit, Curb Bit, Single Jointed Snaffle, and Full-Cheek French Link Snaffle. All these bits will last you a long time with minimal wear and tear. What’s more important is that all your commands will be communicated efficiently so that you have a smooth trail riding experience.
