The well-being of horses is a key element in their sporting use: a stressed horse (frightened, uncomfortable, ill, or in pain) opposes physical effort and cannot offer top-level physical performance. Vbite, an innovative start-up, aims to position itself in the national and international market of horse welfare and care with an innovative and disruptive product for the sector, thanks to a new conception of the bit that induces a relaxed and collaborative attitude in the animal, generating a psychophysical condition of stability and relaxation. The device, through a vibrating system placed in the equine oral cavity and controlled via a Bluetooth application, mechanically recreates the stimulation of the salivary glands, encouraging jaw release and chewing, promoting a sense of well-being and tranquility in the animal.
