Bits for draft horses are in very limited supply. Typically draft horses use 6″, 6.5″, and 7″ mouthpieces on their bits. There are only a handfull of stores that sell these type of bits. In the old days the only choices were O-ring snaffle bits and the large carriage bits such as Liverpool bits.
Today there are many more varieties of Draft Horse Bits to choose from. They are now available in D-ring snaffle, western curb bits, Tom Thumb bits, Butterfly bits, and many variation of these styles. This expansion in the selection of bits for draft horses has been fueled by the rise in popularity of riding these large draft horses.
