Nathe 3-Ring Bit 18 mm Double Jointed

Nathe 3-Ring Bit 18 mm double jointed

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 18 millimeters at its thickest point. So, it is rather a medium-strength mouthpiece.

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and especially large warmbloods, cold-bloods and Shire horses rather 18mm and larger.

When selecting 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 the palate.

The Nathe development team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and function of bits. Today we would like to introduce you to the Nathe 3-Ring Bit 18 mm double jointed from the Nathe range in more detail:

The Nathe 3-Ring Bit 18 mm double jointed is made of plastic and equipped with 3-ring side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed.

Bit thickness

Side piece

3-Ring

The three-ring bit combines effective lateral restriction, leverage, and lifting action in one bit. The degree of action is chosen by the different rein attachment options. When the rein is attached to the lower ring, the taking rein exerts the effect of a short lever on the bit. The 3-ring bit is often used to test the horse's reaction to leverage.

Mouthpiece

double jointed

A double-jointed mouthpiece is a very common mouthpiece. 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. Be careful with narrow lower jaws! The joints can press on the bars with a narrow lower jaw. 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 glide easily in the mouth, even with little saliva flow.
