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 characteristics of the horse's mouth. You can test with your fingers how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

Cheekpiece

Driving Weymouths

Driving Weymouths, such as the Sprenger Post Weymouth Bit, Stainless Steel, Straight Bar with Port, 19mm, are specially suited to the needs of driving 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 port 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 cart harnesses. It offers two options for rein attachment. When the reins are attached to the lower ring, a leverage effect is achieved. When attached to the upper ring, this leverage effect is absent, and the bit becomes a snaffle.
