Nathe Flexible Tandem Bit 20 mm

Nathe Flexible Tandem Bit 20 mm

The bit is 20mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. So it's more of a thick mouthpiece.

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and especially 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 test with your fingers 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 effectiveness of the bits. We would like to introduce you to the Nathe Flexible Tandem Bit 20 mm from the Nathe range in more detail today:

The Nathe Flexible Tandem Bit 20 mm is made of plastic and equipped with a tandem or combination construction. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The hardness of the mouthpiece material is rather soft, i.e. flexible.

Bit Thickness

Cheek Piece

Tandem/Combination

A so-called tandem bit distributes the rein pressure evenly across the horse's mouth. The first rein, when taken up, applies pressure to the lower jaw branches and the nose, while the second rein acts like a curb chain, which can be released if necessary. The Nathe Flexible Tandem Bit 20 mm is suitable for sensitive horses that do not like strong pressure in the 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-safe 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 slide easily in the mouth, even with little saliva flow.

This can increase the satisfaction and willingness to perform in sensitive and mouth-sensitive horses. The material is anti-allergenic, food-safe, solvent-free, and contains no plasticizers.
