Reported risk: The steel braided wire in the mouthpiece that connects the bit on either side of the horse's cheeks can become frayed, rusted or worn, which can cause the bit to break. If this happens, the rider can lose control and fall from the horse. In the United States, there have been four reports of wire bits that have broken and resulted in reports of injuries including broken and fractured bones, bruises and back pain from falls. Health Canada and Cavalier Equestrian have not received any reports of incidents or injuries to Canadians involving these bits.
