Beris Konnex Tongue Port Weymouth Bit: Optimal Bit for Sensitive Tongues

The Beris Konnex Tongue Port Weymouth Bit is manufactured by the German company Beris and is made of food-grade plastic. It has loose ring cheeks, featuring two freely moving rings at the ends, which allows for greater mobility in the horse's mouth. The mouthpiece is a straight bar with a tongue port, has a thickness of 18mm, and provides space for the tongue. This makes the bit particularly suitable for horses with sensitive tongues or those that tend to stick their tongue out.

When selecting a bit, you should pay attention to the anatomical conditions of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to check how much space there is between the tongue and the palate. The standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm, while for ponies it is typically between 10mm and 14mm. Very large warmbloods, draft horses, and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

The Beris Konnex Tongue Port Weymouth Bit is an optimal bit for horses that have a sensitive tongue and require a more "mobile" bit in their mouth. However, since the bit has a medium-strong thickness, it is not suitable for inexperienced riders.
