Nathe bits are carefully selected and made from the most suitable materials. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Nathe 3-Ring Bit with Slider 20 mm with Flexible Bar from the Nathe range:

The Nathe 3-Ring Bit with Slider 20 mm with Flexible Bar is made of plastic and equipped with 3-ring cheek pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The hardness of the mouthpiece material is rather soft, meaning flexible.

Bit thickness

The bit is 20mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. It is therefore a rather 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 palate.

Bit material

Plastic

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

Manufacturer information

Nathe

Nathe bits are characterized by a smooth surface, as they are made of high-quality thermoplastic. This can increase satisfaction and willingness to perform in sensitive horses and those with sensitive mouths. The material is anti-allergenic, food-grade, solvent-free, and contains no plasticizers. High flexibility of the mouthpiece is ensured by the temperature-neutral properties of thermoplastic.

Mouthpiece

Straight Bar Bits

A straight bar is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A straight bar mouthpiece has a sharper effect than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.

Cheek piece

3-Ring

The three-ring bit combines an effective lateral restriction, leverage, and lifting action in one bit. The degree of action is chosen by the different rein attachment options. Attached to the bottom ring, the taking rein exerts the effect of a short lever on the bit. The 3-ring bit is often used to test the horse's reaction to leverage.
