Nathe bits are selected with the greatest care and made from the best materials. Today we would like to introduce you to the Nathe Pelham 20 mm with hard straight mouthpiece with tongue relief and long shanks from the Nathe range:

The Nathe Pelham 20 mm with hard straight mouthpiece with tongue relief and long shanks is made of plastic and equipped with Pelham cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar with a tongue port. The hardness of the mouthpiece material is rather hard, almost rigid.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20mm at the thickest 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, draught horses 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 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 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

Straight bar with tongue port

The straight bar with tongue port allows space for the tongue, thus reducing pressure on the center of the horse's tongue. More tongue relief is ideal for horses that have a sensitive tongue or horses that stick out their tongue. This bit is not suitable for inexperienced riders.

Cheekpiece

Pelham

The Pelham is a popular bit with short or long shanks. When taking up the reins, the bit acts on the mouth, lower jaw and poll. Depending on the leverage of the shanks, a different and immediate bit angle can be achieved in the mouth. Possible use for horses that have difficulty going on the bit, for "hot" horses or also for horses that need clear action in critical situations. The Pelham should only be used by experienced riders.
