Description

The Nathe mouthpiece is extremely gentle to the horse’s mouth and tongue, allergy-free, and helps to activate salivation and softening to the contact. Its smooth construction helps to reduce rubbing or pinching. Not to be confused with cheaper, plastic mouthpieces, Nathe bits are soft and flexible, but not as bulky as rubber. A twisted steel inner core ensures safety. Cartwheel bits are designed to give riders extra control over speed and direction. The mouthpiece attaches to a post running vertically through the center of the bit rings, giving a slight tilting action. Cartwheel bits give riders more control than a snaffle, but are said to be milder than most gags. The bits are useful for horses that are difficult to turn, making them popular with show jumpers and event riders. The straight-bar Nathe version is especially suitable for horses with sensitive mouths. Sizes: 5″ and 5.5″
