Nathe Working Gag Bit 20mm Flexible Mullen with Copper Centre Piece

Nathe Training Bit 20 mm Flexible Bar with Copper Centrepiece

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20 millimetres at its widest point. It is therefore a rather thick mouthpiece.

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold-bloods and Shire horses rather 18mm and larger.

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

The Nathe team continuously works on innovative products to further optimise the design and function of the bits. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Nathe Training Bit 20 mm Flexible Bar with Copper Centrepiece from the Nathe range:

The Nathe Training Bit 20 mm Flexible Bar with Copper Centrepiece is made of plastic and equipped with loose ring cheeks, i.e. rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar. The hardness of the mouthpiece material is rather soft, i.e. flexible.

Bit thickness

Cheekpiece

Loose ring snaffle

A loose ring snaffle has two freely moving rings at each end. A movable ring means greater mobility of the bit in the mouth. The Nathe Training Bit 20 mm Flexible Bar with Copper Centrepiece is therefore ideal for beginners and horses that are somewhat inactive in the mouth.

Mouthpiece

Bar bits

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

Bit material

Plastic

Food-grade plastic is used for bits, which means no plasticisers 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.

This can increase satisfaction and willingness to perform in sensitive horses and horses with sensitive mouths. The material is anti-allergenic, food-grade, solvent-free and contains no plasticisers.
