It was only by chance I stumbled onto these types of bits.
Struggling with answers and conferring with my Equine Dentist at the time, I was introduced to the “Concept” of these Bits.
The 45 degree MOUTH Shape and NO Joint. My Dentist did this exercise on my arm.
I have NEVER USED the jointed style bit again.
That was way back in 2012 and I have been using these “Particular” Bits ever since. I have found that the COMFORT Bit – has got to be the kindest - Softest Bit, for all horses.
Hoping I would find these Bits at Equitana, and off to Melbourne I went.
I met this gentleman, (Melbourne Equitana 2012). Struggling to pronounce his name, we agreed upon "Wassi".
I was so impressed – I became a Distributor/Educator.
By purchasing direct from the Manufacturer allows me to market them DIRECT to Riders at an affordable price. During this time, we have built a very honest & ethical business relationship. I am “Extremely Passionate” with educating Riders and Horse owners about these amazing bit.
My COMFORT bits are ALL made by hand, including the finishing off, of the product.

Quality and Workmanship of my COMFORT Bits
My COMFORT bits are manufactured in Sialkot – Pakistan. My Guy / Wassi has only been manufacturing these bits since 2003 – "So might know what he is doing by now."
The quality of workmanship is far superior to that of other manufacturers.
Manufacturing is only High Grade German Stainless Steel – hence the quality (if German unavailable French Stainless Steel is purchased).
Sialkot is a “Manufacturing Hub”. You would be amazed at where most of the “Big Brand” name bits are actually made, even some of the BIG Brand sport names are produced in Sialkot.
Wassi also – supplies surgical instruments, dental equipment, shoeing gear, pet grooming/salon quality scissors, stirrup irons along with a few other horse related products.
AND BEAUTIFUL Cutlery. GOLD tipped. "OMG!"
Would make a great trophy for – high end competition, or even a wedding gift.
Over time, I have built a very honest and ethical business relationship with Wassi.
More recently, we caught up with Wassi and his wife (in Singapore Nov 2017) for a long overdue face-to-face business meeting.
Wassi confirmed that he will ONLY do business with myself in Australia – making myself the ONLY Importer to Australia - of these "particular" COMFORT Bits.
As of 2021 Wassi is continueing exporting his products; suppling surgical instruments, dental equipment and shoeing gear although, he has now advised that I am the sole world wide comfort bit distributor.
My COMFORT bits: NOT to be confused with PED Bits or other sellers - of a "Lesser" quality Comfort Bit. These particular bits are stamped with a particular formula.
Unfortunately I discovered (May 2017) similar Comfort bits coming into the country (many of those manufacturers have been blacklisted by the Pakistan government.) In Sialkot - Manufacturers are required to be on the Approved list: "Licensed to export".
Therefore, my High grade SS Bits are now stamped (May 2017) with the Manufacturers Co. initials - WMC to separate them from the poorer quality imports.
Just need to be aware – if NO Stamp/form of identification – then be very mindful of the quality.
Buyer BEWARE of false products!
I am rather passionate about My Product - for me... It’s all about the “COMFORT of the Horse".
Hope you appreciate the VALUE of this information.
