Nathe Double-Jointed Loose Ring Snaffle 20mm with Large Rings

Nathe Snaffle Bit 20 mm Double Jointed with Large Rings

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20mm at its thickest point. It is therefore 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 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 their design and function. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Nathe Snaffle Bit 20 mm double jointed with large rings from the Nathe range in more detail:

The Nathe Snaffle Bit 20 mm double jointed with large rings is made of plastic and equipped with snaffle bit cheekpieces, i.e., rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed.

Bit Thickness

Cheekpiece

Snaffle bit

The snaffle bit has two loose running rings at each end. A movable ring means greater mobility of the bit in the mouth. The Nathe Snaffle Bit 20 mm double jointed with large 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 towards the mouth and lies 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 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

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 slide easily in the mouth, even with little saliva flow.
