Join the Whisper Bit Revolution!
Created and tested by
Tim & Colleen McQuay, the
Whisper Bit communicates clearly to your horse and allows guidance and correction without intimidation. It's forgiving, even when nerves and adrenaline can make hands move a little too fast.
In addition to being a great training and showing aid, the Whisper Bit is a great choice for beginners and children.
