Oct. 17, 2011 - PRLog -- HAMPSTEAD, NH – Millions of people have seen the infamous 1980’s movie where bundled up kids double dog dare each other to lick a frozen flagpole in the dead of winter.  While kids may have a choice on where they put their tongues – horses do not when it comes to cold, metal bridle bits.  For years a New England mom and entrepreneur searched for a solution to prevent unnecessary pain and discomfort for her own horse.  Her goal: take the bite out of cold bits.

“Having grown up in New Hampshire, I always felt awful when I would have to stick a bit into my horse’s mouth in the winter,” Jamie Sturgess, horse lover and inventor, said.  “I would try just about everything I could to warm it up from dunking it in hot water to putting it under my own arms.”

Years later, Sturgess invented a product called Bit Blanket (http://www.bitblanket.com), an electric bit warmer.  The innovative product quickly and conveniently warms a horses’ bit to a temperature that is more like a horse’s normal body temperature.  The bit warmers plug into any standard outlet, running on only four watts of energy.

“Simply wrap the Bit Blanket around a cold bit, plug it in, and while you are grooming your horse, saddling up and preparing for your ride, your horse’s bit is being warmed to a comfortable temperature,” Sturgess said.

Bit Blanket was introduced in the fall of 2009.  The product has been well received by horse owners from coast to coast, including those in warmer weather states such as Texas and California.

“It is clear there are many caring and compassionate horse riders out there who share my same concern.  Freezing cold metal can stick to soft tissue causing tearing and pain,” Sturgess said.  “It gives me great satisfaction that I have been able to provide horses and their owners with the convenient, practical and pain-free solution the Bit Blanket provides.”
