Nathe double jointed bits

Nathe double jointed bits: an articulated thermoplastic mouthpiece

Nathe double jointed bits combine a thermoplastic mouthpiece with a double-jointed design. This construction pairs the flexibility of an articulated mouthpiece with the characteristics of Nathe's thermoplastic material, renowned for its smooth surface and warmer contact compared to metal.

The double jointed mouthpiece offers greater freedom of movement within the horse's mouth. It also allows for more independent rein aids, while the shape of the mouthpiece continues to influence how pressure is distributed across the tongue, bars, and lips.

Nathe double jointed bits are available with a variety of cheekpiece configurations, including eggbutt, Baucher (hanging cheek), full cheek, gag bits, and Pelham bits, depending on the model. While the mouthpiece design remains the same, the choice of cheekpieces changes the overall behaviour of the bit by providing varying degrees of stability, lateral guidance, or leverage.

Nathe thermoplastic

Nathe mouthpieces are manufactured from high-quality thermoplastic, a material valued for its low thermal conductivity and smooth surface. For some horses, these characteristics may encourage a more willing acceptance of the bit, particularly if they are sensitive to metal or to temperature changes.

As with any bit, however, the material is only one aspect of its overall function. The cheekpiece design, mouthpiece diameter, and the horse's oral conformation remain equally important factors when selecting the most appropriate bit.
