Nathe bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the best materials. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Nathe Bar Bit 15 mm soft, with tongue relief from the Nathe range in a little more detail:

The Nathe Bar Bit 15 mm soft, with tongue relief is made of plastic and equipped with loose ring snaffle side pieces, i.e. rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar with a tongue arch. The hardness of the mouthpiece material is rather soft, i.e. flexible.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 15mm at its thickest point. It is therefore a medium-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 bloods and Shire Horses usually need 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 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 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.

Mouthpiece

Bars with tongue arch

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

Sidepiece

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 Bar Bit 15 mm soft, with tongue relief is therefore ideal for beginners and horses that are somewhat inactive in the mouth.
