Bit Blanket Offers New Option For Riders On The Go

Oct. 31, 2011 - PRLog -- HAMPSTEAD, NH – The first snow of the impending winter season has already hit the ground in the Northeast.  While Mother Nature is giving people a taste of what’s to come, Bit Blanket has spent the last several months getting ready to help horse owners brave the cold weather.  The New Hampshire-based company, which has developed an electric warmer for metal horse bits, is now offering a plug-in source for riders on the go.

“During the fall and winter months, horse bits become dangerously cold,” Jamie Sturgess, Bit Blanket inventor and company owner, said.  “Cold bits cause pain, discomfort, numbness and damage to the soft tissue in a horse’s mouth.”

Bit Blanket (http://www.bitblanket.com) is an innovative electric-powered device that wraps around a horses’ bit, and quickly and conveniently warms it to a temperature more like a horse’s normal body temperature.  In barns and stables, the bit warmers plug into any standard outlet, running on only four watts of energy.  For riders who take their steeds off-site for trail rides, lessons, clinics, etc., a power inverter is now an option.

“Bit Blanket is designed to work with a Philips DVDP32 Power Inverter,” Sturgess said.  “The inverter provides higher wattage, AC power from any vehicle’s outlet.  It’s an easy, simple option to warm your horse’s bit while on the way to your destination.”

In addition to powering a Bit Blanket, the inverter is also ideal for powering/charging cell phones, laptops, DVD/CD players, portable music devices and other audio/video equipment.
