Nathe Olive Head Snaffle 18mm Single Jointed

Nathe Eggbutt Snaffle 18mm Single-Jointed

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 18mm at its widest point. It is therefore a medium-thick mouthpiece.

Reference 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 bits to further optimize the design and function of bits. Today we would like to introduce you to the Nathe Eggbutt Snaffle 18mm Single-Jointed from the Nathe range in more detail:

The Nathe Eggbutt Snaffle 18mm Single-Jointed bit is made of plastic and features eggbutt rings as side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is single-jointed.

Bit Thickness

Sidepiece

Eggbutt

Eggbutt bits have fixed, oval-shaped rings at the ends. These provide a little more stability in the mouth, which means the Nathe Eggbutt Snaffle 18mm Single-Jointed lies more quietly in the horse's mouth.

Mouthpiece

Single-jointed

The Nathe Eggbutt Snaffle 18mm Single-Jointed has a joint in the middle, which applies less pressure to the tongue than a double-jointed mouthpiece. A single-jointed mouthpiece primarily exerts pressure on the bars and 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 slide easily in the mouth, even with little salivation.

Manufacturer Information

Nathe

Nathe bits are characterized by a smooth surface, as they are made from high-quality thermoplastic. This can increase satisfaction and willingness to perform in sensitive and mouth-sensitive horses. 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.
