Nathe's range of bits provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today we would like to introduce you to the Nathe Liverpool Curb Bit 20 mm Bar with Tongue Relief and Short Shanks from the Nathe range in more detail:

The Nathe Liverpool Curb Bit 20 mm Bar with Tongue Relief and Short Shanks is made of plastic and equipped with driving curb bit cheek pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar with a port.

Bit thickness

The bit is 20mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. So it is rather a 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 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 material

Plastic

Food-grade plastic is used for bits, which means no plasticizer is used and it is well tolerated by horses. The particularly smooth texture ensures that the bit can slide easily in the mouth, even with little saliva production.

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 horses with sensitive mouths. 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

Bars with port

The bar with a port provides space for the tongue and thus reduces pressure on the center of the horse's tongue. More tongue relief is ideal for horses with sensitive tongues or horses that stick out their tongues. This bit is not suitable for inexperienced riders.

Cheek piece

Driving curb bits

Driving curb bits such as the Nathe Liverpool Curb Bit 20 mm Bar with Tongue Relief and Short Shanks are specially suited for the needs of driving horses. There are several types of driving curb bits.

Liverpool Curb Bit The Liverpool curb bit is a classic driving bit and offers several possibilities for rein attachment. The Liverpool curb bit is usually available with short or long shanks. It is also possible to tilt the angle of the port forward. This forward tilt relieves pressure on the bars and acts more on the tongue.

Post Curb Bit The Post curb bit is also a classic driving curb bit and is common for agricultural harnessing. It offers two possibilities for rein attachment. Attachment in the lower ring creates leverage. When attached in the upper ring, this leverage is absent, and the bit becomes a snaffle bit.
