Nathe D-Ring 18 mm Double Jointed

Nathe D-Ring 18 mm Double Jointed

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 18 millimeters at its thickest point, making it 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 test with your fingers how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

The bit range from Nathe provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today we would like to introduce the Nathe D-Ring 18 mm double-jointed bit from the Nathe range in more detail:

The Nathe D-Ring 18 mm double-jointed bit is made of plastic and equipped with D-shaped rings as side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is double-jointed.

Sidepiece

D-ring

Due to the characteristics of this bit, it is wonderfully suitable for young horses that are still somewhat inexperienced. The shape and weight of the side parts ensure a calm and comfortable position in the mouth. Due to the shape of the D-shaped rings, optimal lateral support is provided. Good and calm rein guidance is facilitated by the large ring. The larger rings provide a little more leverage on the poll.

Mouthpiece

double jointed

The double-jointed mouthpiece is one of the most common mouthpieces on the market. 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. The double-jointed bit exerts more pressure on the tongue compared to single-jointed bits.

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.

Nathe bits are characterized by a smooth surface because they are made of high-quality thermoplastic. This can increase satisfaction and willingness to perform in sensitive and mouth-sensitive horses. The material is anti-allergic, food-grade, solvent-free, and contains no plasticizers. High flexibility of the mouthpiece is ensured by the temperature-neutral properties of thermoplastic.
