The Nathe bit range provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today we would like to introduce you to the Nathe Bar Bit 20 mm with tongue relief and additional small ring from the Nathe range:

The Nathe Bar Bit 20 mm with tongue relief and additional small ring is made of plastic and equipped with loose ring snaffle cheekpieces, i.e. rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar.

Bit Thickness

The bit is 20mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. This makes it a rather 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-blooded horses, and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

When choosing bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical features 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 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.

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

Bar Bits

A bar is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A bar mouthpiece has a sharper effect than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.

Cheekpiece

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 20 mm with tongue relief and additional small ring is therefore ideal for beginners and horses that are somewhat inactive in the mouth.
