Nathe Pony Standard Bit 16 mm without Steel Core

Nathe Pony Standard Bit 16 mm without Steel Core

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at its thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. This makes it a rather medium-strength 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 choosing 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 palate.

The range of bits from the Nathe company provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. We would like to introduce you to the Nathe Pony Standard Bit 16 mm without Steel Core from the Nathe range in more detail today:

The Nathe Pony Standard Bit 16 mm without Steel Core is made of plastic and equipped with loose ring cheeks, i.e. rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The hardness of the mouthpiece material is rather medium, meaning it is slightly flexible.

Bit Thickness

Cheek Piece

Loose Ring Snaffle

The 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 Pony Standard Bit 16 mm without Steel Core is therefore a bit for horses that prefer a more "mobile" bit in their mouth.

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 action than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.

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 glide easily in the mouth, even with little saliva production.
