Side piece

Mouthpiece

single jointed

The Stübben STEELtec Olive-Head Weymouth Bit, single jointed, has a joint in the middle, which exerts less pressure on the tongue than a double jointed mouthpiece. A single jointed mouthpiece primarily applies pressure to the bars and sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. A single jointed mouthpiece is a standard mouthpiece and very widely used. Weymouth Bit

The Weymouth bit is used in combination with a curb bit. It is available with single and double jointed mouthpiece variations. The difference to other snaffles lies in the rings (e.g., olive-head rings), which are significantly smaller than the rings of normal bits. The Weymouth bit is usually chosen half to a full cm larger than the curb bit, as the curb bit is a straight bar and the Weymouth bit is jointed.
