The Sprenger Post Weymouth Bit Stainless Steel 16mm Straight Bar is made of stainless steel and equipped with driving Weymouth cheeks. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar.

Bit Thickness

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. 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-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 use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and palate.

Bit Material

Stainless steel

To obtain stainless steel, the steel is mixed with various metals to form different alloys. The most commonly used alloy for stainless steel bits consists of steel, chromium, and nickel.

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 effect than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.

Sidepiece

Driving Weymouths

Driving Weymouths like the Sprenger Post Weymouth Bit Stainless Steel 16mm Straight Bar are specially suited to the needs of carriage horses. There are several types of driving Weymouths.

Liverpool Weymouth The Liverpool Weymouth is a classic driving bit and offers several options for rein attachment. The Liverpool Weymouth is usually available with short or long shanks. It is also possible to tilt the angle of the tongue arch forward. This forward tilt relieves the bars and has a greater effect on the tongue.

Post Weymouth The Post Weymouth is also a classic driving Weymouth and commonly used for country harnessing. It offers two options for rein attachment. Attaching the reins to the lower ring creates a leverage effect. When attached to the upper ring, this leverage effect is absent, and the bit becomes a snaffle bit.
