Considered the chewing gum for horses and ponies, GumBits promotes the salivation process and eliminates teeth grinding which can often occur during the training of high-performance sport horses. Not only does GumBits encourage chewing activity, trigger salivation, and eliminate teeth grinding, horses love the sweet taste. GumBits are made of all-natural FDA approved ingredients and are safe for competition use.
Gambit Atlanta, Inc., was founded in 2005 to manufacture, produce, market, and sell GumBits, primarily through retailers. These products are loved by many high-performance equestrians and Olympians including Lauren Kieffer, Hawley Bennett Awad, Lauren Billys, Kate Chadderton, Matt Brown, and Bobby Meyerhoff. GumBits has now spread to Canada, Europe, New Zealand, and Australia.
“We are extremely grateful to continue our partnership with GumBits. We genuinely appreciate their support of U.S. Eventing,” said USEA CEO Rob Burk. “GumBits are safe, effective, and easy to use. Come to the 2019 AEC to find out for yourself why their exceptional products are loved by eventers nationwide.”
