DIY Homemade Horse Bit Wipes | Budget Equestrian
Рет қаралды 12,575
Күн бұрынHi everyone! Have you heard of bit wipes? Have you ever bought bit wipes? If you have, you know they are expensive. But I figured out how to make my own bit wipes for about $1.00. That's a lot cheaper than $16.00, and that's what a container of pre-made bit wipes would cost you.
And the best part of making them is it is so easy to do!
I made these bit wipes using Scott blue shop towels, some peppermint extract, and water. And that's it!
These are SO easy to make. Don't spend $16.00 on bit wipes, make your own for less than a dollar per container.
Are you new here?

This is a must try and if you don't use a bit ,use it on all the metal on the bridal and it stays shinning and clean . Thank you for sharing this really worked great and a lot cheaper !👊👏

Bits aren’t bad. People are bad and don’t know how to use them. The equestrian world would be so much better without them along with many other things. There are very few equestrians who actually know who actually use bits, whips, Spurs, etc. responsibly.

horselover _2018 "...bits are bad its like someone put in your *mauth* metal and *pul* you", ya sure lol it's all about soft or hard hands. And before you say I'm lying go find me multiple certified,educated,non biased, and proven studies about hackamores vs bits before you go saying that bits are always bad no matter what. I think we should use whatever your horse likes better, not what some random person on the internet says we should use and not use...

I just looked threw the comments and I'm surprised that no one has mentioned unscented baby wipes, there perfect for cleaning bits, along with other things (ex. Horse Eyes, mouths, noses, helmets and other tack, hands, your sweaty face and body after riding, and a lot more) and you can buy them in bulk for really cheap, I got a pack of 1,000 and some for around $15! Super good deal and will definatly last you a few years!

Heres a tip - if you have a bit with a bit of wear and stains on it from the tack room, regular table salt and warm water will get rid of it and give your horse salt supplements

This sparked an idea of how I will clean my bits. Spray bottle filled with water and peppermint essential oil and clean rags. Perhaps less waste and even cheaper?!
@betterthanrubies2462 5 жыл бұрын
Great idea, and very nice bit wipes. :D I should make some of these and give them to my instructor so the bits we use on the same horses frequently can get cleaned. It's kinda' nasty we don't clean them. But if I had my own horse and used a bit, I would probably clean it.

Does the peppermint extract keep the wipes from molding? I wonder if you replaced some or all of the water with alcohol if that would be better for storage? Plus it would disinfect the bit :)

@sassygrxlla8470 6 жыл бұрын
Natasha Theriault I think that is smart but apple cider vinegar could sometimes leave a gross taste after using it. And when you use it again it might be gross tasting in the horses mouth

would the scent make the horse take the bit easier?

I believe so, as long as your horse likes peppermint 😊
@missequestrian3448 6 жыл бұрын
If I just use water, with nothing in it, would it get gross and mold? My horses are pretty picky, they don't like mint/peppermint stuff, and I think if I got extracts or mouthwash flavor/residue on their bit they wouldn't like it at all. And one of my bits has a copper mouthpiece, so I feel like that's already sort of flavored. Any ideas would be appreciated! 😊thanks!
@robynjones57 5 жыл бұрын
I know this is an old coment, but you could try unscented baby wipes, I've used them on a lot of picky horses and not one of them fussed about a taste.

Would it be easier to just use a bottle of disinfectant mouthwash? The $1 store knock off brand of Listerine... I will have to try it. The $1 store also has washcloths that could be used a few times and then washed, cutting down waste and cost. $3 for washcloth, container and mouthwash. ✔ Done

Is it possible to use horse friendly disinfectant to clean the bit instead of peppermint?

I haven't found any disinfectant that a horse would like to have in his mouth, even if it is safe.
