Nathe 3-Ring Snaffle 18 mm Single Jointed

Nathe 3-Ring Snaffle Bit 18 mm Single-Jointed

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 18 millimeters at its thickest point. This makes it a moderately thick mouthpiece.

For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is usually 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.

When choosing the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical conditions of the horse's mouth. You can test with your fingers how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

Bit Thickness

Side Piece

3-Ring

The three-ring bit combines effective lateral restriction, leverage, and a gag effect in one bit. The degree of action is chosen by the different rein attachment options. When attached to the lower ring, the pulling rein applies the effect of a short lever to the bit. The 3-ring bit is often used to test the horse's reaction to a leverage action.

Mouthpiece

single-jointed

A single-jointed bit has one hinge point, which exerts less pressure on the tongue than a double-jointed mouthpiece. A single-jointed mouthpiece primarily exerts pressure on the bars and the sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. A single-jointed mouthpiece is an absolute standard mouthpiece and very widely used.

Bit Material

Plastic

Food-grade plastic is used for bits, meaning no plasticizers are used, and it is well tolerated by horses. The particularly smooth texture ensures that the bit can glide easily in the mouth, even with little saliva flow.

The material is anti-allergenic, food-safe, solvent-free, and contains no plasticizers. High flexibility of the mouthpiece is ensured by the temperature-neutral properties of thermoplastic.
