Nathe Loose Ring Snaffle 18mm Double Jointed with Small Rings

Nathe Loose Ring Snaffle 18 mm Double Jointed with Small Rings

The bit is 20mm thick, measured at the thickest part in 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 more like 10mm to 14mm. Very large warmbloods, draft horses, 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 palate.

Nathe bits are selected with the greatest care and made from the most suitable materials. We would like to introduce you to the Nathe Loose Ring Snaffle 18 mm Double Jointed with Small Rings from the Nathe range in more detail today:

The bit Nathe Loose Ring Snaffle 18 mm Double Jointed with Small Rings is made of Sensogan and equipped with loose ring cheeks, i.e., rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed.

Bit Thickness

Cheekpiece

Loose Ring Snaffle

A loose running ring characterizes a loose ring snaffle. A movable ring means greater mobility of the bit in the mouth. The Nathe Loose Ring Snaffle 18 mm Double Jointed with Small Rings is therefore a bit for horses that prefer a more "mobile" bit in their mouth.

Mouthpiece

Double Jointed

Double-jointed mouthpieces are suitable for many horses. This mouthpiece has two hinges, is more shaped to the mouth, and sits a little looser in the horse's mouth. This bit exerts pressure on the tongue, the bars, and the corners of the mouth. This bit should not be used on horses with narrow lower jaws. The hinge points can press on the bars, which can lead to sores. Compared to a single-jointed bit, this bit exerts more pressure on the tongue.

Bit Material

Sensogan

The Sensogan material mix consists of copper, manganese, and zinc. The trace element manganese has a positive effect on the horse's metabolism and stress reduction. The combination of copper and manganese results in a dosed oxidation process that promotes chewing activity. Sprenger's Sensogan bits are characterized by high compatibility.
