Nathe Full Cheek Gag bit 20 mm with flexible Mullen Mouth

Does your horse lean very heavily on your hand or withdraw with its head down? Then a snaffle could be the right choice. The way they work is complex: with a snaffle bit, the cheek piece is passed through the bit ring and attached directly to the reins. This creates pressure in the sensitive neck area of the horse when the reins are pulled. At the same time, however, the mouthpiece also moves towards the corner of the mouth. This ensures that the horse presses less downwards. We recommend using two pairs of reins, as this allows the rider to exert effective but targeted influence - as much as necessary, as little as possible. For this reason, we only recommend reining reins for experienced riders with a well-trained hand.

Whether sensitive or strong: bar bits are suitable for very different types of horses, depending on the model. The choice is huge and the way they work can vary enormously depending on the model. But wait a minute: how do you know whether a bar bit might be suitable for you and your horse? Basically, this type of bit is less suitable if your horse is difficult to turn, position and bend. This is because as soon as you have to use one-sided rein aids, the bit tilts. A bar bit is therefore particularly suitable if you have an even connection with both hands and are able to ride your horse through turns primarily with thigh and weight aids.

In general, the softer the bar, the softer the action. If the bar bit is yielding and flexible, it is also recommended for more sensitive horses that occasionally tense up and become impermeable. If it is rigid and hard, you can use it for strong horses that pull against the bit more often.
