Nathe bits are selected with the greatest care and made from the best materials. Today we would like to introduce you to the Nathe Dutch Gag Bit 20 mm with flexible mouthpiece from the Nathe range in more detail:

The Nathe Dutch Gag Bit 20 mm with flexible mouthpiece is made of plastic and equipped with Dutch Gag rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The hardness of the mouthpiece material is rather soft, meaning flexible.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20mm at its thickest point. 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, cold-blooded horses and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

When selecting 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 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 texture ensures that the bit can glide easily in the mouth, even with little salivation.

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 and mouth-sensitive horses. 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.

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

Dutch Gag Bits

The Dutch Gag bit can be ridden with two reins. The second rein, with increased pressure, causes a tipping and a pulling up of the bit in the corner of the mouth. This means a reinforced action. Very good for horses that tend to lean on the bit. Also usable for horses to achieve increased collection.
